Visual Anthropology: Photography as a Research Method

Great book..Enormous amount of experience and knowledge canned in that pages. Each chapter goes deep in the problematic, from simple aspect to conceptual ones.Worth reading for anybody interested in that field.

This book is an excellent guide to using photography as a research method. Well-written with good photos to illustrate.

I was required to buy Visual Anthropology for my Visual Sociology class my sophomore year of college. This is one i didn't sell back to the bookstore after the class was over because it is so useful. It is a great book to help a person learn how to use a camera as a research tool and get the most out of it.

Found this by serendipity in the main map shop in Barcelona.I am the Director of a small disability charity and the description of how the author's disabilities led to him seeing the world differently as this superb book describes and then put it into practice is awe inspiring.Should be a core text for anyone in the caring professions so they seriously learn how to empower people by showing them how to use powerful tools to enable change.And I note it is not referenced in the visual anthropology section of wiki!

I got this book after a long held interest in visual anthropology. Its simple informative text was very useful for those interested in getting involved with visual anthropology. It might be a little oversimplified for those who those have a stronger background than me. Lots of story examples and pictures to interpret.

Sebbene dal titolo si possa intendere che sia un libro fotografico la parte di immagini è abbastanza ridotta. Tuttavia questo non risulta essere un limite dal momento che la parte scritta è esaustiva e molto interessante. Consiglio di leggerlo a tutti gli appassionati di fotografia.

Ce livre est une belle leçon sur la question de la distance entre l'ethnographe et son "objet" d'étude. Une belle leçon sur les rapports en sujets pendant l'enquête. Le livre aborde l'ensemble de la méthode ethnographique et centre son propos sur la construction du sens.
