Photographic visualisation

The starting point for my researched was premised upon the concept of Photographic Visualisation as proposed in Roger Feltons book ‘Photoviz’. Subtitled Visualising Information Through Photography, the book presents examples of the use of the photographic medium whereby ‘combining the goals of data visualization with the beauty and fidelity of photography, Photoviz is able to represent the world in illuminating ways’ (Felton 2016: 3). This premise is a useful entry point when considering an expanded image making practice that uses the photograph as a basis but applies techniques of alteration, or manipulation, to move beyond the single image and examine different ways of seeing.
