Visual Research Methods Visual data have been of concern to the social sciences in two ways: visual records produced by the investigator, and visual documents produced by those under study.

Thus visual anthropology and visual sociology proceed methodologically by making visual representations (studying society by producing images), by examining pre-existing visual representations (studying images for information about society), and by collaborating with social actors in the production of visual representations. Methodologically, the use of photography, film and video to document areas of social and cultural life would appear to be straightforward and un-problematic. Click here to read more?
