Children Story Picture 2


Thought maybe the black and white on the stump could help better illustrate the story's themes metaphorically.

Children's Story


When reading the children's story about the wind king allowing the pine tree to keep its leaves in the winter because he helped a bird, I developed a few images in my head. I drew a bird in a nest on a pine branch, appearing warm and cozy with two barren looking trees in the background while I was listening to the story for the first time. We then went out for a re-shoot to try and take some more usable photos for the magazine spread. I edited a few of them, but decided because the assignment is for children, I would choose my original green sky pine tree picture because I think it fits well.
