This book explores the benefits of incorporating the photo-elicitation method into interviews within arts and cultural administration, leadership, and management research.

For the qualitative researcher, photographs open pathways to richer understandings of experiences, thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions of study participants. This book explored the benefits of incorporating the photo-elicitation method into interviews within arts and cultural administration, leadership, and management research. Within the arts and culture, researchers often use terminology that doesn’t resonate with arts and creative practitioners. It shows how photo-elicitation serves to bridge these gaps, opening research participants up to opportunities for deeper reflection. Providing in-depth, multidisciplinary guidance on photo elicitation as a significant visual research method is valuable reading for arts administration researchers to create inclusive and collaborative research environments with research participants.

Visual Research Methods in Arts Administration will be a useful guide for scholars interested in incorporating photo elicitation into their social science research. It is also valuable for educators and students within the qualitative research space.
