THE BOOK of BECOMING

Let’s try a photo exercise on Point of View!  Here’s a double bonus for all you moms! Not only is this post about photography tips, but it also comes with a hands-on project for making a Mid-Winter Tree! But before I get to the project, here’s the photography part.

I first fell in love with the idea of point of view when I was writing. I’d do warm up writing exercises by taking a particular scenario and how a character would respond. Then I’d write the same story from a different character’s point of view and then from a third character and so on.

With a camera, I find myself having a blast with photo point of view in how Brian and I move around our subjects. This is especially great with your kids when they’re busy doing a project. Let them focus on the project while you move around them taking different shots from different angles, aka photo point of view!
