Abstract  The discipline of geography had long been playing the emphasis on making better images to illustrate the knowledge of geography and facilitate the geographical studies sufficiently,influenced by the rational discipline. However, accompanied with the "culture turn" in human geography and increasing numbers of social science scholars paying more attentions on culturally constructed way of seeing in recent years, Anglophone human geography has been trying to take into consideration the geographic significance of different themes of visual images and the "way of seeing" of people. Accordingly, it is argued that visuality and visual images are remarkably novel research objects rather than research instruments, which can represent and visualize place, space and landscape to shape and constitute geographical imagination, place identity and social relationship in particular ways, under the controls of various social groups. Also, visual materials and the process of making things visible are active participants in everyday practices of geography, some human geographiers being interested in the cultural significance of visual images when they are used and performed in particular encounters, situations and (geo)politic with people as objects. This article reviews and generalizes current western human geographical researches regarding visual and their multiple analytical methods, in order to demonstrate and classify the main topics, developments and academic significance of visual research in the field of human geography, and further expand the researchscope of domestic social and cultural geography researches.
