Why read it?
1 author picked Eyes Open as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a fun book of photography projects for children (although they would also be good for any adult aspiring photographer). I like the way it has varied practical projects which get you thinking about the process of making photographs based around a theme or idea.
It poses interesting questions to think about when taking a photograph, and as Susan Meilsellas says “whether or not a photograph can change the world, photography can change you. Just open your eyes!”
From James' list on get your children thinking about the world.
