Visual elicitation ethnography/Evidence
Method evidence record

Visual elicitation ethnography

Visual elicitation ethnography is a qualitative research design that integrates sustained ethnographic fieldwork with the systematic use of visual stimuli — photographs, video clips, drawings, or participant-produced images — to prompt deeper, more reflexive accounts from community members. By combining prolonged immersion in a social setting with image-mediated interviews, researchers gain access to tacit knowledge and cultural meanings that verbal questioning alone rarely surfaces.
