Evidently visual sociology had its start pretty much coincident with the development of photography?
Visual sociology, after contributing to several studies in the early decades of American sociology, disappeared to reemerge during the 1960s.
More in-depth description from a 1989 text. From the third heading in the Wikipedia article I was imagining it would get into things like pictographs and other symbols used for communication but it doesn't seem like that.

I think MeFi must be the largest concentration of visual sociologists on the entire web.
