Visual Reality Anthropology - The Still Image

I was recently proposed with the question of "Does a photograph fit the criteria of VRA?" The answer is, a still image is part of the VRA family. One of the main defining aspects of this method is that the Anthropologist is allowed and enouraged to use creative angles to shoot his or her subjects. The different angles provide a new perspective into the people being studied.

VRA also encourages the use of a series photographs. That is, numerous photos of the same subject with only a short interlude between shots. The pictures, when viewed together provide a story and are a useful research tool that can be shared between Anthropologists.

Anyways, these are just a thoughts at the moment.
