Essential reading for anyone analysing images, technologies and society, Doing Visual Ethnography is an engaging and thorough guide to ethnographic and visual research. Updated in tone, language and style, the Fourth Edition of this established text is vastly updated, with:
- A new Chapter 8 on documentary, followed by a new chapter 9 on interventional visual ethnographies.
- Content on "visual futures", explaining ethnographic techniques such as ‘ethnographies of the possible’ and future-focused design anthropology workshops.
- An updated Chapter 5 on Video ethnography for investigating embodied and sensory experience, with new material on digital materiality and technologies such as the use of Go-Pros, drones and wearable cameras.

This is an excellent book which I explicitly recommended to students to read. It's very clearly written and contains valuable information on how to use new technologies in visual methods. I will make it an essential reading next time.
