Answer to Question 1

Visual sociologists rely on pictures and video as sources of data. This qualitative observational technique allows for rich data, which can give the researcher and the reader a deep sense of what a situation is like. Rather than simply using photographs and videos to illustrate social life, the researchers regard the images as pieces of information in the same way an interviewer would treat answers to a question in an interview guide.
