In April 2016 Manchester eScholar was replaced by the University of Manchester’s
new Research Information Management System, Pure. In the autumn the University’s research
outputs will be available to search and browse via a new Research Portal. Until then
the University’s full publication record can be accessed via a
temporary portal and the old eScholar content is available to search and browse via this archive.

General notes:
- 3* Originality - This is the first and only article to argue and discuss the importance of researching young people’s photographic practices and to show how little we actually know about this topic. I argue that research on photographic practices is essential to a critical evaluation of research involving young people as photographers. I also establish that an understanding of photographic practices sheds light on key aspects of childhood and youth. Significance –This article demonstrates that, in research where young people are asked to generate photos, it is essential that researchers understand participants’ everyday photographic practices in order to evaluate how they respond to the research task. It is also significant because it draws attention to a neglected aspect of young people’s cultural practice that has important implications for young people’s identities, belonging and memory. ‘Visual Studies’ is an international journal published on behalf of the International Visual Sociology Association and it aims to promote ‘excellence in the scholarly use of visual materials’. Rigour – The article is based on an extensive review of: international research in which young people generate photos; historical and contemporary studies that address, directly or indirectly, the photographic practices of young people and adults C20th/C21st.
