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.
