Creative talent takes many forms, and the expression of the path a person could eventually pursue often begins when they are young. While most of us think of the stereotypical artist with a paintbrush in her hand carefully regarding her brushstrokes on a canvas, not all child (or even older) artist has the ability or desire to express herself that way. If your young artist has great creative ideas as well as an eye for beauty, but is more interested in snapping pictures on her mobile phone rather than picking up a paintbrush, you could have a future photographer in the family. There are summer art camps that teach camera and lighting skills that may be a perfect place for your daughter to spend some of her summer so she can explore her talents. Photographers use light, composition, and the world around them to create works of art that can be equally moving and evocative as a great piece of art or sculpture.
There are quite a few reasons why digital photography is an especially wonderful way for young artists to express themselves. Everyone observes the world in a different way. Taking photos presents a great opportunity for youngsters to showcase their own distinctive take on the world. Kids already love cameras - most of them walk around with them in the form of cell phones anyway. At a creative arts camp, however, children have the opportunity to discover the art of photography while using much more high-end devices, and also to be taught how to work with different types of lighting, movement, and tricks of the trade such as time lapse photography--giving them the ability to do much more than take snapshots of friends.
Photography also offers its young aficionados a much more genuine possibility of eventually making a career out of their passion than many other art forms. While competition is still fierce, especially for the best jobs (such as those at magazines or other news outlets), there are many photographers who make great livings recording wedding ceremonies as well as other special events. Freelancers often make very respectable livings as well selling individual photos to news stations, magazines, etc. The more preparation your child has, the better her chances are of getting into this field as a future career. A number of the best camps even send their participants home with rather impressive portfolios.
These camps often teach video recording photography too, in addition to staging and the many components of video production, which thanks to the internet and the ever-expanding menu of television channels, is a field which will probably continue to grow for many years to come. YouTube and other video sites are significant, not only for showcasing funny pet and child videos, but also as a platform for businesses to advertise and promote themselves.
Just like many forms of art, photography is a wonderful way to teach kids independence and perseverance in addition to creativity, and spending a summer immersed in this opportunity is a wonderful way to learn. Thanks to digital photography, being able to experiment at very minimal expense, at least starting out, makes this ability one that can be cultivated at a very young age.
