Sammanfattning	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.	Ethnography is a qualitative research tradition in which a researcher immerses themselves in a social group or community over an extended period — typically three to six months or longer — to study its culture, values, and behaviours in their natural setting. Originating in social and cultural anthropology, and consolidated as a rigorous method by Bronisław Malinowski in the early twentieth century, ethnography produces rich, contextualised accounts of how people live, work, and make meaning together.
