Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the possibility of using visual sociology method – photographic analysis – in geographical research. In this case study, the author analyzed photographs taken by tourists during their stay in Łódź which, according to them, “best reflect their stay in this city”. In addition to approaches typical for sociological research, the study was expanded by the spatial aspect including the places where the photographs were taken and their association with the most popular tourist attractions of the city. The outcome of this work is a map delineating the “tourism space of Łódź” (according to the visual criterion) which shows one of the possibilities of using analysis of photographs in geographical research. The paper presents the results that can be obtained from the analysis, using four different approaches and methods of interpretation (structuralist, hermeneutical, semiological and geographical).
