N2 - In this chapter, I discuss how to work with smartphones and social media, focusing on the images that informants make and share, and images that anthropologists make and collect. I argue that ethnographic insights may emerge through multimodal sorting of these (digital) materials alongside other fieldwork materials. Each fieldwork and each process of analysis is particular and differs from the next, yet certain steps and techniques can be discerned in the process. They emerge as techniques in retrospect, whereas I offer them in this chapter as prospective, in a template form tobe appropriated and adapted.
