Photovoice is a process of collecting information and expressing issues and concerns through photos. Photovoice has three main goals:

• to enable people to record and reflect their community's strengths and concerns;
• to promote critical dialogue and knowledge about personal and community issues through large and small group discussions of photographs; and
• to reach policy makers.

Photovoice is highly flexible and can be adapted to specific participatory goals (such as needs assessment, asset mapping, and evaluation), different groups and communities, and distinct policy and community issues. (Source: )
