Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Small-scale industries are essential drivers of local economies, particularly in rural areas, where they create jobs, foster innovation, and contribute to poverty reduction. Ankpa Local Government Area (LGA) in Kogi State is home to several small-scale industries that produce goods ranging from agricultural products to locally manufactured items. However, these industries often face challenges such as limited access to markets, poor infrastructure, and a lack of visibility. Photography offers a unique opportunity to promote small-scale industries by documenting their activities, showcasing their products, and highlighting their economic contributions. By creating visual representations of these industries, photography can help attract consumers, investors, and policymakers to support the growth and sustainability of small businesses. This study explores how photography can be used to promote small-scale industries in Ankpa LGA, focusing on its potential to enhance local economic development.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Small-scale industries in Ankpa LGA struggle with limited visibility, which hampers their ability to expand and reach broader markets. Despite their contribution to the local economy, these industries often remain underrepresented in mainstream economic discussions and are overlooked by potential investors. Photography can play a significant role in promoting these industries by providing visual evidence of their products, processes, and economic impact. However, the use of photography in promoting small-scale industries in Ankpa LGA has not been fully explored. This study aims to examine how photography can be used to enhance the visibility of small-scale industries in the region.
