Thanks for sharing the article - I have handed out cameras is remote Kalahari communities on a number of occasions - but have accompanied this by long-term fieldwork and ongoing fieldwork since 2003 (many shorter visits instead of one really long one) and find that photos taken by the locals change over time - first they are images of what they think we wish to see, then they are portraits of family and friends (once they realise they get copies of all photos taken) as they build up their own collections of things they like to remember and then later some take on more abstract imagery such as landscapes, and attempts to capture memories etc.  It is rewarding, but only if it is done over a long time with multiple visits and time taken to allow the informants to comment on what they have taken.

Hi Sheyma, for a critical look on that issue, you can try this article by Karen Nakamura: 

2008 A Case Against Giving Informants Cameras and Coming Back Weeks Later.
Knowledge Exchange. Anthropology News. Vol. 49, No. 2: 20. Washington, D.C.
American Anthropological Association.

Cheers,

I have been searching for an article entitled "natives shoot back" which takes a critical look at anthropologists practices of giving cameras to their native/subjects.  I cannot seem to find it, or anything about this practice, anywhere.  Would anyone be able to help?

Greetings! I'm new here, so I thought I would introduce myself. I am an aspiring visual anthropologist currently working in Japan as an English teacher while beginning fieldwork for my next film project on the side. The only proper visual anthropological work I have worked on is the video below which explores the experiences of the Gullah/Geechee community in the Southeastern US in preserving their heritage and culture. Any feedback or folks interested in future collaborations, please feel free to message me. I look forward to seeing everyone else's work here soon!
