Field-based visual analysis/Evidence
Method evidence record

Field-based visual analysis

Field-based visual analysis is a qualitative approach in which researchers collect and analyze visual materials — photographs, video, diagrams, environmental signs, and spatial arrangements — directly within the natural settings where they are produced and used. By anchoring visual analysis in fieldwork, this method captures images and visual phenomena in their social and spatial context, enabling interpretation that goes beyond what can be achieved from decontextualized images alone.
