Abstract

This chapter considers the relationship between dark tourism, visualisation and the particular role of photography. It occupies a pivotal place within interpretation and pictorial record both as evidence of activity and visitation. The advent of smart phones and the integrated presence of high-resolution embedded cameras with significant storage has heightened the centrality of the visual record.
