Picturing the social landscape
visual methods in the sociological imagination
by Caroline Knowles · 2004

"In this collection an international range of experts explain how they have used visual methods in their own research, examine their advantages and limitations, and show how they have been used alongside other research techniques." "The collection showcases different methods in different contexts through the examination of a variety of topical issues. Methods covered include photo and video diaries, the use of images produced by respondents, the use of images and prompts in interviews and focus groups, documentary photography, photographic inventory and visual ethnography."--Jacket.
