Visual Anthropology: Photography as a Research Method (University of New Mexico Press, 1986; revised and expanded edition) by John Collier, Jr. and Malcolm Collier has become a classic in its field and an invaluable textbook for using photography, film and video to understand human behaviour and culture. Foreword by Edward T. Hall.
As long as cameras have been available, investigators have used them for recording in the natural sciences, but rarely have photographs been used as other than mere illustration. The Colliers present the photograph as a rich source of both quantitative data and qualitative information about human interaction. This book provides reliable research methods from the systematic gathering of data through analysis of photographic records to transfer of insights to ethnographic records.
