First published in 1967, Visual Anthropology has become a classic in its field, invaluable not only for anthropologists but for anyone using photography, film, and video to understand human behavior and culture. This completely revised and expanded edition brings the technical information up to date and includes the insights the Colliers have gained from nearly thirty-five additional years of collective teaching and research experience since the first edition.

I was required to buy Visual Anthropology for my Visual Sociology class my sophomore year of college. This is one i didn't sell back to the bookstore after the class was over because it is so useful. It is a great book to help a person learn how to use a camera as a research tool and get the most out of it.

I got this book after a long held interest in visual anthropology. Its simple informative text was very useful for those interested in getting involved with visual anthropology. It might be a little oversimplified for those who those have a stronger background than me. Lots of story examples and pictures to interpret.

Found this by serendipity in the main map shop in Barcelona.
I am the Director of a small disability charity and the description of how the author's disabilities led to him seeing the world differently as this superb book describes and then put it into practice is awe inspiring. Should be a core text for anyone in the caring professions so they seriously learn how to empower people by showing them how to use powerful tools to enable change. And I note it is not referenced in the visual anthropology section of wiki!
