suggested additions
a boxed reflection on the use of photography in the recoup project? aims/issues/strategies...
in my experience, most teachers thought it was a little ridiculous for me to keep asking permission to take photographs. We could reflect on such issues of consent. Also -- printing off photographs for participants -- this was really good for the school functions (independence day etc). We could reflect on reciprocity in fieldwork. Relating to this - sometimes participants wanted a particular type of photo taken of them: ie, in addition to trying to 'capture' school life in a more natural state, I always took photos of teachers as they wished to pose. This meant teachers would go away and comb their hair, fix saris, and come back to be photographed standing proud and straight without smiling... these were great to print off and give to teachers, who seemed to really value them.
in this way - we could relate photography in research to interviewing in research: they both give way to interaction that is not always bounded by schedules or research questions.
