Visual Anthropology has long advocated the value of images as primary sources documents. This presentation will show pictures taken during field work conducted among Chams in Cambodia, in an attempt to start an ethnographic description. Using both photographic and ethnographic experiences – as an undivided methodology – the slideshow will outline the variations and diversity within the “Cham Community”, despite the usually black and white image of a monochrome community.
