Photovoice is a participatory photography method that enables people to identify, represent, and enhance their community through a specific photographic technique.

 

It is a process by which people can:

• Express their experiences and perspectives

• Share their stories with others

• Create a dialogue about important issues

• Effect positive change in their communities

• Activate themselves in the changing process

• It is a qualitative research tool for scientific studies

1. Participants are trained in the basics of photography.

2. Participants are given cameras and asked to take photographs that represent their experiences and perspectives on a particular issue.
