To provide an imaging method and an imaging apparatus each of which enables an imaged condition to be easily switched to a different condition and is used for imaging a disease site as a photographic subject, and to provide a diagnosis support method.SOLUTION: There is provided an imaging method for an imaging apparatus 20 which images a disease site as a photographic subject and comprises: a camera body 21； and a light unit 23 provided in the camera body 21 and comprising unpolarized light emission means 212a irradiating unpolarized visible light, polarized light emission means 211a irradiating polarized visible light, and ultraviolet light emission means 215a irradiating ultraviolet light. The imaging method continuously performs by a prescribed imaging operation: a first step of imaging the photographic subject by the unpolarized light emission means 212a； a second step of imaging the photographic subject by the polarized light emission means 211a； and a third step of imaging the photographic subject by the ultraviolet light emission means 215a.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3【課題】異なる撮像状態への切り替えを容易に行える、疾患部位を被写体として撮像する撮像方法、撮像装置及び診断支援方法を提供する。【解決手段】カメラ本体２１と、カメラ本体２１に設けられ、非偏光可視光を照射する非偏光光発光手段２１２ａ、偏光可視光を照射する偏光光発光手段２１１ａ、及び紫外光を照射する紫外光発光手段２１５ａを備えるライトユニット２３とを備え、疾患部位を被写体として撮像する撮像装置２０の撮像方法は、所定の撮像操作により、非偏光光発光手段２１２ａを用いて被写体を撮像する第１ステップと、偏光光発光手段２１１ａを用いて被写体を撮像する第２ステップと、紫外光発光手段２１５ａを用いて被写体を撮像する第３ステップと、を連続して実行する。【選択図】図３
