Abstract

Photovoice involves participants using cameras to document their thoughts and experiences related to an important theme in their everyday lives. Photovoice places the critical data collection tool, a camera, in the control of the participants themselves. Thus, the knowledge that is generated from a photovoice project is likely to directly reflect the interests and concerns of the participants. This project offers a unique view of how participants’ varying approaches to photography influenced their experiences of participation as well as the photographs they took.
