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.	Field-based ethnography is a qualitative research design in which the researcher immerses themselves in a social setting or community over an extended period, observing and participating in everyday life to understand cultural practices, meanings, and social dynamics from an insider perspective. It is the classical form of ethnography, grounded in sustained physical presence at a research site, and distinguished from archival, virtual, or document-only approaches by its central reliance on direct, embodied fieldwork.
