Have you ever wondered how a single image can reveal more about you than you might think? Our inner world is rich with symbols, memories, and emotions that often elude verbal expression. Yet, images possess a unique power—they can unlock doors to our unconscious, helping us connect with our deepest selves.
Photovoice is a technique that blends photography, storytelling, and community conversations to empower individuals and communities. This method allows them to document and reflect on their lives and environments in a visual and accessible way.

Have you ever thought about how you are? Who are you? If you are where you want to be? Typically, we don’t reflect on how we are, what makes us happy or brightens our days, unless something breaks our stability.
It was a great find. Few books speak so clearly about the processes of therapeutic photography and the use of photography in personal spaces and social intervention.
