Photovoice

Photovoice is based on three core ideas:

  1. Photography gives people a voice, especially those whose stories are often overlooked.

  2. Images spark deeper reflection and discussion about personal and social issues.

  3. Sharing photos can influence awareness, policy, and change.

It was developed in the 1990s by Caroline Wang and Mary Ann Burris as a way to help communities document issues affecting their lives and use the images to advocate for solutions.
