| Annotation | The author has used photography to engage tenants in examining services and their lives, communities, hopes and dreams. PhotoVoice is defined as "a process by which people can identify, represent and enhance the community through a specific photographic technique. It entrusts cameras to the hands of people to enable them to act as recorders and potential catalysts to social action and change in their own communities." PhotoVoice is therefore a way of promoting active participation and dialogue, and is particularly attractive to people who have difficulty with verbal or written communication. PhotoVoice enables others to see the world as perceived and experienced by service users, and is an effective way of empowering tenants and involving them in research and change strategies. (RH). |
