Visual anthropology is a relatively new field using images to document culture. Applied visual anthropology is the use of images: photographs, film or art, to intervene in cultures. The articles here edited by Pink (social anthropology, Loughborough, UK) cover many applications from social change to documenting medical procedures, to encouraging tourism, preserving heritage and changing people's self-perceptions. Some focus on the reporter's eye and others on using visual arts to enable the voiceless and invisible of the world to present their lives. Some of the authors consider ethical questions raised by this intervention. In several cases, the language is technical to the field and this is intended for anthropologists.
