Review

Sarah Pink′s work has been in the forefront of social research methods for decades. With this revised edition of Doing Visual Ethnography, she builds on her clear and compelling descriptions of how to do visual methods by incorporating discussion of the latest digitised ways of seeing, as well as emphasising the importance of multisensory, participatory and future-oriented approaches. Readers across the humanities and social sciences will find much in this book to intrigue and inspire them. -- Deborah Lupton

The fourth edition of Sarah Pink′s classic,
Doing Visual Ethnography, is a tour de force. On each and every page of this important, wonderfully updated and insightful book, Pink demonstrates - in clear and compelling prose - a profound mastery of the technological, practical, theoretical and ethical intricacies of image-based ethnographic research in contemporary society.

This work is more than the presentation of a how-to set of of visual methodologies. Indeed,
Doing Visual Ethnography is nothing less than a sophisticated and comprehensive model for conducting social science research in the 21st century - a gift for present and future ethnographers. -- Paul Stoller

My favorite researcher/author!

I totally love the visual ethnographic method and Pink is one of the handful of experts writing about those methods. I think the thing that makes Pinks work stand out from the other authors is that she takes on a holistic approach to her research, where she is informed by sensory experiences (which she also has dedicated methods books on). Taking on ethics of research is presented in a very human way also, where Pink writes the investigator should treat the person being interviewed as a collaborator in the process, and not just someone to gather data from. As I'm Indigenous American, that really resonated with me. I got the hard bound book, which was expensive, but her other hard bound editions have not dropped in price either. It was important to me to make sure I got something that would last, as this is going to be the bible from which I draw inspiration for work in the field, and I'll be sure to tear up a paperback copy over time.This is indeed a methods (little bit of theory) book, but it is by no means a technical manual. Think of this book as a lifestyle guide for doing visual ethnography in a balanced and respectful human way, as opposed to the cold hard research methods in other scientific endeavors. We are human beings that are collecting the stories of other human beings, and presenting that to other human beings. We just so happen to standardize the language and methods so everyone can be on the same page. Right? lol. Just get the book :P
