Student Photo Series

Putting a camera in the hands of children often results in an interesting and unique perspective on their world.

For these photo series, the kids have been given the chance to capture their environment as they want. No instructions have been given other than to take pictures of things that interest them.

Take a look below at the results!

The Romania series is taken from Finding Hope Ministries, a home for children who have no other family to care for them. The kids were all given the camera for 10 minutes and encouraged to take as many photos as they wanted. Then they got to select their favourite picture to post in the gallery.

Oscars, a 10-year-old student at Kristiana Davida Pamatskola in rural Latvia took control of the camera for one day. Here is a collection of his photos that he has chosen to show of his school and its surroundings. Many students, like Oscars, live at school during the week and travel home on most weekends.

Take a look around a traditional Zulu village in the beautiful Valley of a Thousand Hills in South Africa. All photos captured by Awande, a 9-year-old boy who shows us what life around his house and village looks like.
