You may be asking yourself- what is PhotoVoice? PhotoVoice is a methodology used in the field of community development, public health and education which combines photography with grassroots social action. PhotoVoice participants are asked to represent their community or point of view by
- taking photographs
- developing narratives to go with their photographs
- conducting outreach or other action
Below are a collection of photos that are thought provoking, compelling or just plain old worth a thousand words!
