  ABSTRACT: Digital cameras are increasingly being used in educational settings for young children. In fact, more researchers are including photography activities into research involving children. This paper aims to describe how young children (aged six years) learned to use digital cameras and practiced composing photographs. Data were collected through photos taken by the children, video recordings and conversations with the children. This study shows the capability of children to be photographers and the potential of using photography in learning as well as in research involving young children. The introductory phase, practice session, guidelines and safety precautions used in this study can be a reference point for teachers, children and researchers willing to integrate the usage of digital cameras for learning and research purposes.
