Covering the Ontario election as a citizen journalist and street photographer could be a great opportunity for Bob to combine visual storytelling with on-the-ground reporting.
Here’s a structured approach:
1. Street-Level Election Coverage
Campaign Signs & Street Art – Photograph political signs, graffiti, or murals related to the election. These can show how different neighborhoods engage with politics.
Public Reaction – Capture candid moments of people discussing the election in cafés, public spaces, or protests/rallies.
Polling Stations – Without disrupting voters, photograph the atmosphere outside polling stations (e.g., lineups, signage, volunteers).
2. Candidate & Rally Coverage
Political Events – Attend campaign rallies, debates, and press conferences. Capture not just the candidates but also the audience reactions.
Candid Shots of Politicians – If possible, photograph candidates interacting with the public. These moments can tell a more personal story than staged campaign images.
3. Election Day Storytelling
Morning Atmosphere – Photograph the city waking up to election day: newspapers, digital billboards, coffee shop conversations.
Voter Turnout – Lineups at polling stations can visually represent civic engagement.
Post-Election Reaction – Document celebrations or protests depending on the results.
4. Blog & Social Media Content
Street Interviews – Brief, anonymous quotes from voters about what issues matter to them.
Photo Essays – Compile images into a visual story of the election season in Ontario.
Before & After Comparison – Show how campaign posters, street conversations, and public engagement change from pre-election to post-election.
