Photography helps us look at things from different perspectives, to reflect, communicate and express ourselves in a way that goes beyond words. The accessibility and creativity of photography makes it an ideal tool to promote thinking and learning about the determinants of health
You are required to take one digital photograph which for you illustrates the social or cultural or environmental determinants of health. You MUST not take photos of any incriminating or illegal activities or take photographs of individuals without their permission. A consent form is linked further down this page/
You are required to include this photograph on the front page of your assessment.
In your essay, you should
- Outline how your photograph illustrates a social, cultural or environmental determinant of health. Make sure that you outline how this determinant of health influences health status (suggest 500 words +/- 10%)
- Briefly describe THREE (3) approaches that could be used to improve health status and equity with regards the determinant of health you have portrayed in your photograph and described in part 1. (suggest 500 words +/- 10%)
- Reflect on how the process of taking the photograph helped you thinking about your determinant of health. (200 words)

The digital photo is the first page of your assessment task (insert it into a word document).
If you take a photo of another person, you must gain their consent. The consent form is availablehere
and must be inserted into the last page of your document.
The process of taking the photo is a really important part of this assessment. Photos can be "staged" - a collection of images that represent your determinant of health. Your photo must not come from the internet. We are not assessing your photography, but the way you reflect on the photo in the essay.
