Internet has been transformed for some anthropologists from a research object to a research instrument for fieldwork. Following two different approaches, Internet can be conceived as a research tool that can be used for applying different research techniques (interviews, questionnaires, etc.) or as a field of study. In both perspectives, technology mediated fieldwork rise a whole set of opportunities and at the same time pose many methodological issues, similar to those that visual anthropology has already faced in relation to visual technologies. The aim of this article is, first, to specify common methodological issues and make explicit shared reflections between Internet ethnographers and visual anthropologists; and  second, to discuss the opportunities that the Internet pose for visual culture research.
