Photography is a form of art and a picture tells a thousand words. As per Eudora Welty, “A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away.”
However, just holding a camera does not make you a photographer. You must hone the right attitude and practices in order to take a meaningful picture. These habits cannot be learnt overnight and it requires some time and considerable practice before you actually master your photography skills.
With advancements in science and technology, our thought processes have also changed and unlike the former generation, many parents today, want their wards to master this art or pursue a career out of it.
Here are a few basic guidelines for your child that will assist them in becoming a successful photographer and loving the art at the same time:

Try new ideas:
Experiment with new ideas. Take multiple shots of a single object from different angles and from different sides. This will help you to enhance your perception about the intricate details of photography.
2
Concentrate on the background:
Always check the background of your image in order to ensure that it does not hamper the mood of the picture. Pay close attention and scan carefully the background before taking an image. If necessary adjust your angle to incorporate a better background.
3
Hold the camera straight:
This is a very important thing. Holding the camera at an inclination destroys the essence of an image. Always make sure to hold the camera as straight as possible to take a linear picture.
4
Holding the camera:
As mentioned before, you must always hold the camera straight. However, the way to hold a camera also requires attention. You must carefully learn how to hold a digital camera, maybe from the manuals or some professional help. The art of holding the camera is crucial in taking panoramic images. The small details must always be taken care of.
5
Zoom in:
Get in close proximity with the subject of your image. The picture must clearly tell the dominant perspective of the image. This requires focussing and sometimes zooming. Carefully adjust your focus to bring the subject into attention. The process of zooming also requires careful operation. Do not zoom in the subject too much as to obliterate the background completely. Always try to maintain a proper balance.
6
Take multiple photos:
Do not be afraid to take multiple shots of a single subject. Try and take each shot with a different setting. This will help you explore the many possibilities that photography offers to you. Take the shots and then analyse them, this will help increase your experience.
7
Photography of different subjects:
Photography is not limited to people alone. You can capture beautiful scenery or a mesmerising object. However, all these require different adjustments and you must ensure the right setting before clicking a scenery, object or people.
8
Find your liking:
Photography is a hobby. Always try to enjoy it. This experience becomes richer if you discover what attracts you. You may love to capture beautiful landscapes or smiling children, but whatever it is you must find it soon enough.
9
The rule of thirds:
The rule of thirds is an important guide to photography. Please take the time to read it from a manual or the internet.
10
Role of a parent:
Help your children analyse the images. Give them your views and suggestions which will definitely help them.
Photography is a passion; make sure you teach your children to enjoy it and do not impose it upon them if they are not interested.
