The Visual Culture Blog is published by the photographer and researcher in visual culture Marco Bohr. As he reached the finishing line of a theory based PhD on Japanese photography of the 1990s, Marco began the Visual Culture Blog in October 2010 to vent some ideas that didn’t fit into the thesis. Born and raised in Germany, studying photography in Canada, living in Japan, and continuing postgraduate studies in the UK, he hopes to bring an international perspective to the study of visual culture(s). Marco completed a Visiting Fellowship at the Australian National University before his appointment as Lecturer in Visual Communication at Loughborough University.
Marco welcomes inquiries regarding commissions, guest lectures and PhD supervision.
