Repeat photography. Participatory research methods for sustainability ‐ toolkit #16

Repeat photography offers a simple but effective method for visualising changes in the landscape and can be employed in participatory scientific projects. It is used in geosciences and ecology to analyse long-term developments, in exhibitions and citizen science projects to raise awareness, and in transdisciplinary processes to open up new avenues for dialogue on sustainability and land use.

Abstract

Repeat photography offers a simple but effective method for visualising changes in the landscape and can be employed in participatory scientific projects. It is used in geosciences and ecology to analyse long-term developments, in exhibitions and citizen science projects to raise awareness, and in transdisciplinary processes to open up new avenues for dialogue on sustainability and land use.
