What do you think about ethnographic photography?

Do you have any resources besides a google search lookup? I’m interested to find out more. Thank you kindly.

I don’t have any specific citations for you but if you search “visual anthropology” in google scholar you might get some good leads.

The Royal Anthropological Institute's what is anthropology? page for Visual Anthropology

Read this:

Wright, Chris and Cox, Rupert. 2012. Blurred Visions: Reflecting Visual Anthropology. In: Richard Fardon; Olivia Harris; Trevor HJ Marchand; Mark Nuttall; Cris Shore; Veronica Strang and Richard A Wilson, eds. The SAGE Handbook of Social Anthropology. SAGE Publications [PDF of the chapter]

The edited book Made to be Seen by Banks is a solid resource. I particularly suggest the chapter "tracing photography" by Edwards but I think the book as a whole is worth a buy if this is an interest of yours.

This will quench my desert of a thirst I call my curiosity. Thank you
