Queer Methodology for Photography 1st Edition

Queer Methodology for Photography (1st Edition) by Asa Johannesson offers a bold, timely rethinking of how photographic practice and research intersect with queer theory. This book grabs attention with lucid prose and an uncompromising commitment to exploring how images can reveal — and reshape — identities, power, and desire.

Drawing on vivid case studies and close visual readings, Johannesson guides readers through practical research techniques tailored to photography: reflexive fieldwork, ethically conscious image-making, archival interventions, and interpretive strategies that center intersectionality. Whether you’re a photographer, visual studies student, or queer studies researcher, the book provides clear tools for designing projects that are methodologically rigorous and politically informed.

Beyond method, the text nurtures a deeper appreciation for photography’s capacity to disrupt norms. Readers will learn to trace how images document intimate lives, challenge heteronormativity, and create alternative publics — essential skills for anyone working with visual data in contemporary academia or creative practice. The author’s engaging examples and step-by-step frameworks make complex theory accessible without sacrificing analytical depth.

Ideal for coursework, independent research, or studio practice, this 1st Edition is globally relevant — useful to scholars and creatives in North America, the UK, Europe, Australia, and beyond. Rich with practical guidance and critical insight, it’s a must-have for those committed to ethical, innovative photographic inquiry within LGBTQ+ and queer research contexts.
