In this chapter we review a selection of methods, practical issues and techniques, which have been used by visual sociologists. By foregrounding traditional methods, pioneered by a prolific generation of visual sociologists and visual culture theorists we build with, and importantly from, these ideas to form the basis of a visual sociology cognizant of the new hyper-visual world in which we participate. We provide a synthesis of visual methodology developments and summarize techniques on the analysis of images and ethics of visual research. The chapter ends with a vignette on engaging with the big data in visual research.
