Methodology
PhotoVoice works with a broad methodology which is tailored to the needs of participants in each project. It is a methodology that builds on the power and potential of photography as a flexible and empowering tool that is at once, accessible, therapeutic, influential and communicative.
Over the years, PhotoVoice has worked with countless photographers, practitioners and community members around the world to develop its skills and understanding of participatory photography as a tool to enable positive social change.
