Visual methodologies and photographic practices: encounters with Hadrian's Wall world heritage site.

Abstract

This chapter discusses a typology of photographic approaches and practices that has been constructed as a result of this study. Owing to the individual and changing nature of experience, it is argued that a typology of tourists should not be created. This research, however, looks at how people approached taking part in the research, and a typology has been created to illustrate the many ways that people - tourists, residents and workers - took photographs of Hadrian's Wall. Hadrian's Wall is an iconic historical landscape and as such it is important for tourism in northern England.
