Take your camera on a beautiful journey surrounded by nature. This project will keep you in touch with the life cycle of the trees and the changing seasons.


You Will Need:

  • A tree (select a tree with a simple background)
  • A good quality camera

Photograph your tree in the winter. At this time of year your subject, a big tree, will have a very few of its leaves remaining. Photograph your tree on a clear but snowy day to get the perfect picture of your tree with snow-capped branches. Alternatively, opt for a clear sunny day where the tree stands bereft of its leaves.


Next, photograph your tree in the springtime as it begins to blossom. The spring portrait may be more difficult, but spring offers many opportunities to go out and experiment.

When summer is in full swing, catch the tree at the height of its glory. The green leaves and bright scenery bring out its true beauty. This photo will provide a stark contrast to its winter counterpart.


The fall photo brings us full circle. As school starts and the leaves begin to change colors, the beautiful foliage is an opportunity to capture the art in nature and appreciate the miracle of the seasons.

Print your four photos and display them side by side. Printing on canvas is a great way to decorate any space in an artsy, upscale and decorative way.


Your one-of-a-kind tree collage will be cherished for many years to come.
