  Images conjure meanings, trigger memories and summon emotions.

  These photographs, taken by research participants, capture unique moments and meanings. Photography makes movement still, encouraging us to reflect on space, place and identity.

  Self-directed photography offers much to geography, both as a method and theory. These images can be seen as a way of doing and a way of seeing, rather than just illustration.

Photographs are not indicative of RGS-IBG opinion, nor of that of its employees.
