Editorial – 16.3

Abstract

Following on from two guest edited themed issues, Vol 16.3 offers a photo essay and seven individually submitted articles that between them encompass a wide range of themes, from more theoretical concerns with methods in photo-criticism, photobooks, alternative documentary strategies, and comparison of approaches within photo education, to the gothic and the surreal in art photography, and a photoessay seated in environmentalist concerns. Together they indicate something of the breadth of critical research that currently characterises the field of photographic theory and practice. Volume 17.1/2, forthcoming spring 2024, will bring together papers and photoworks, foregrounding ideas and research first tested at the photographies conference on Borders and Boundaries co-hosted with University of Texas San Antonio in September 2022 For personal or institutional subscriptions to the journal, please make contact via https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/rpho20
