SUBMISSIONS
We welcome proposals for both chapters and case studies from museum professionals, academics, photographers, artists and other visual practitioners. Proposals from those with practical experience of evaluating and assessing outcomes in this field are particularly welcome.
We are seeking contributions that deal with a wide range of issues in connection with visitor photography in museums:
* museum visitor photography and its relationship with experience and memory
* visitor photography and learning
* visitor photography, performance and identity
* behaviour of visitors with cameras
* kinds of photographs produced by visitors in museums
* photography and sociability inside museums
* connecting with museum artefacts through photography
* photographic reproductions of museum artefacts and uses/sharing
* visitor photography and uses outside the museum space
* visitor photography and everyday life
* online photo-sharing and visitor photography
* visitor photography and the development of new audiences
* visitor photography and its role in fundraising, development or marketing
* photographing museum visitors (artistic and other representations)
* museum visitors using photography as artists or/and researchers
* artists using photography as museum visitors or/and researchers
This list is not exhaustive so we welcome proposals on other issues related to the central theme of the book.
