Catherine Rive    The Language of Photography and Film          Instagram@weareherephotos

 

  Young children have a unique view of the world. The camera is a powerful tool in the hands of children with language and communication needs.  Photography enables children to explore how they perceive the world and to communicate their ideas in a meaningful way. Their photography is fascinating and full of surprises. Through the children’s photographs we get to see the world through their eyes.

 

Children participating in the photography and film projects  are able to share how they see the world. Photography enables children to explore and communicate their ideas about the world, their interests, feelings and fascinations, questions about the world, preoccupations and more.

 

As part of the photography project, parents and carers are invited to join their children in taking a photo-walk to explore their local community through photography. The children’s photographs reveal their awareness of their environment and their ability to capture the beauty within it. On the walks, they make connections with their local community which creates a sense of belonging and ownership. It is important that young children build relationships with their community and develop empathy for the world around them. This is fundamental to their role as future citizens and caretakers of the planet.

In lockdown to create connections a virtual international exhibition of children’s photography taken in the pandemic: instagram@weareherephotos
