Sažetak	Visual anthropology is the use and analysis of photography, film, video, and other visual artefacts both as ethnographic evidence about a culture and as a means of representing anthropological knowledge. It encompasses images the researcher makes in the field, images that members of a community produce themselves, and images already circulating within a society, and it studies all of them as social objects with meanings and effects. As Marcus Banks frames it, every image carries an internal narrative — what it depicts — and an external narrative — the social relations of its making, circulation, and use — and visual anthropology attends to both.	Visual analysis is a qualitative research approach that systematically examines visual materials — such as photographs, films, artworks, advertisements, and diagrams — to understand how meaning is produced, communicated, and interpreted. Drawing on traditions from art history, semiotics, and social science, it treats visual objects as data that carry social, cultural, and ideological significance. Multiple frameworks exist, from formal compositional analysis to discourse-based and audience-reception approaches.
