Visual ethnography is an ethnographic method that uses visual mediums such as photography, video and sketching to understand the human culture. It is an open-ended process where a large amount of data is gathered and analysed to carry out the study. The process involves the researcher getting immersed in the field with the participants in their environment to observe and analyse the various activities and events that unfold during that time.This method is highly useful for designers to provide appropriate solutions to user needs since it allows understanding of the culture and context of the user or community, which is very crucial for any fruitful solution.
