in the UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child. The acts of cooperating and compromising may also help build values crucial to functioning democracies, Farese suggested.
There are many insidious threats to play, in developing and developed countries alike. Though Farese largely steers clear of technology in her uplifting images, she is a vocal critic of the way phones and tablets encroach on traditional forms of fun. And in the West, she added, fears about safety and parental pressure to be"productive" have resulted in the"diminishing role of people allowing their children to play with no purpose -- to just go out the door and play.
"They don't have very many toys there," she said of a remote school where she took the latter photo."And it was extraordinary how much joy they were getting from shadows."Working with children can pose unique challenges -- especially for photographers hoping to catch candid, unguarded moments. Photography is, however, an"inherently playful activity," she said. And as her attempts at pushing tires reveal, Farese often finds herself inadvertently involved in her subjects' games. Indeed, her advocacy for the benefits of play is not limited to children.
