- Learning about lighting and how the direction and quality of light affects photographs has deepened their appreciation for natural lighting and creative use of shadows.

Tips
For further exploration and improvement, encourage the student to experiment with different photography techniques, such as long exposure or macro photography, to broaden their skill set. Setting up a weekly challenge, like capturing a specific theme or emotion, can provide a structured but creative outlet for practice. Parents can support this by engaging in discussions about photographic techniques and providing constructive feedback on the student's work.
