What tools and techniques does Natasha Nicholes recommend for teaching photography skills to children?

Simple cameras and phones: I use whatever I have on hand while we’re “out and about,” and let the kids be themselves in front of the lens.

Everyday moments as lessons: I’ve learned to pause work photos and capture silly faces, determination (like bubble‑blowing), and sibling dynamics. That’s teaching them that real life is worth documenting.

Reflection time: I go back through photos later, smiling and noticing their personalities. Talking through those images with kids is a gentle way to teach composition, timing, and storytelling.
