Children’s Books “The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.” —Dorothea Lange, Aperture Founding Member In 2014, Aperture began to publish photography books for kids, each meant to sharpen their seeing and kick-start creativity. So far, we have created a playful activity book to engage kids in the fun and wonder of photography; an artist book where everyday scenes are transformed into a game of pairs; and a journey through the power and magic of photography by Joel Meyerowitz, reflecting on the kinds of tools photographers use to see, like intuition, timing, point of view, a willingness to wait, and the courage to move closer—tactics that make beauty and meaning, otherwise hidden, visible.
