Cameras for kids

Providing cameras for underprivaleged children and working with them to document their culture and experiences of life.

My dream assignment would be to go into villages around the world, in particular India or Eastern Africa and provide cameras to children within the area. As an outsider to a culture, there is so much that we miss or don't really understand when trying to document and photograph. There is only a certain level of comfort that other cultures are willing to show an outsider.

However, by working with locals, in particular children, you allow yourself to find the true nature of the culture as well as promote a child's understanding of art and increase their self confidence. This would be a collaberative effort between you and the locals which would create a bond between yourself and those you are photographing. This allows for a greater depth of understanding the culture and a great representation of the surroundings as well as promoting and educating children.
