This book started with finding out how photographers work and what informs them. It talked about this all being part of the research process, as well as finding out why they are passionate about what they do.
It then goes on to describe the research process in detail, with planning including thinking about the audience, funding proposals, where to look to do research and it had ideas such as using local libraries, galleries and podcasts as well as other internet research. It reminds us that we may take photos as part of the process, it is not always the finished product. It likens a photo story to an essay, which is quite interesting.
The final chapters mention evaluations and then talks about ethical issues such as the need for model releases. They also mention keeping a reflective journal to help with the process.
