The PhotoVoice Manual

This manual is a guide for the design and delivery of participatory photography projects with marginalised and vulnerable groups. It is focused on photographers, development organisations, and educational institutions looking to include participatory photography in their work.

Written by PhotoVoice’s founders, the manual is intended to give an introduction to the power of participatory photography as a tool for social change. The authors' experience includes developing over 20 projects across four continents, including, for example, a project with HIV-positive women in the Congo and one with young parents in London. The manual has been produced in response to queries on how to set up a participatory photography project and it offers suggestions for all aspects of project development, including planning, implementation, and promotion of work produced. The manual is spiral bound and includes a DVD of slideshows and digital stories from PhotoVoice projects as well as a downloadable PDF exhibition.
