The researcher can collect high quality data set using in-depth interviews based on an ally relationship with participants and co-participating processes of intimate conversation. The method is quite different from other approaches in that how the researcher probes with participants in order to explore major aspects of theme based on the principle of sympathetic introspection. This paper presented three major parts: conducting portraiture methodology; conducting in-depth interview; articulating meanings and writing portraits.
