Hence, the introduction of a new method known as visual ethnography. Visual ethnography accommodates visuals such as photography and videography in enhancing their research documentation. However, the visual approach adapted by the ethnographers has yet to achieve their full potential with the lack of visual aspect presented in the visual data collected; indicating that the researchers did not focus on the image making process.
