Summary/Abstract: This paper is a an anthropological and methodological impression about the production of a cultural knowledge grounded in the different types of a visual data. The purpose of this paper is to highlight a potential of image-based methods for carrying out research into some hidden dimension of immigrant experience connected with visual perception. This paper explores the imaged-based methods as crucial in understanding how immigrants are framing as „others” and on the other way, how immigrants compare their cultural knowledge with different cultural backgrounds.
