Photovoice is a participatory research methodology that empowers community members to document their lived experiences and perspectives through photography, followed by facilitated discussions about the images and their meanings. Originally developed by Caroline Wang and Mary Ann Burris, this method combines photography with critical dialogue to identify community strengths and concerns, particularly around health and social issues. The process typically involves participants taking photographs, reflecting on their images through structured discussions, and using the visual narratives to advocate for policy change or community action.
