The Photography with Intervention method is a way to engage, affirm, and give an active voice to participants via creative methods. “The visual image is used to furnish evidence and to promote an effective, participatory means of sharing expertise and knowledge” (Wang and Burris 1997). It is a participatory research method that involves refining a photo with new creative content. The basis of this method is the photovoice method, but with new additions that bring more flexibility, creativity, and reflexivity. Photovoice is also known as a process by which people can identify, represent, and enhance their community through a specific photographic technique (Wang and Burris 1997). Through Photography with Intervention, participants give an additional voice, reflection, or meaning to a photograph while capturing reality, their environment, specific events, or artifacts. Photography with intervention can expand the initial number of participants, as the dissemination provides a new opportunity for intervention. The photograph can be infinitely refined and recycled by different participants once it is published, shared, or exhibited in a virtual or public space. This expands the documentary and artistic content of photography. Photography with intervention has a great potential for self-transformation.

摘要

The Photography with Intervention method is a way to engage, affirm, and give an active voice to participants via creative methods. “The visual image is used to furnish evidence and to promote an effective, participatory means of sharing expertise and knowledge” (Wang and Burris 1997). It is a participatory research method that involves refining a photo with new creative content. The basis of this method is the photovoice method, but with new additions that bring more flexibility, creativity, and reflexivity. Photovoice is also known as a process by which people can identify, represent, and enhance their community through a specific photographic technique (Wang and Burris 1997). Through Photography with Intervention, participants give an additional voice, reflection, or meaning to a photograph while capturing reality, their environment, specific events, or artifacts. Photography with intervention can expand the initial number of participants, as the dissemination provides a new opportunity for intervention. The photograph can be infinitely refined and recycled by different participants once it is published, shared, or exhibited in a virtual or public space. This expands the documentary and artistic content of photography. Photography with intervention has a great potential for self-transformation.
