Visual Anthropology: Photography as a Research Method - Paperback

by John Collier (Author), Malcom Collier (Author), Hall T. Edward (Foreword by)

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.
