What happens when you hand the camera to the people whose stories you are trying to tell?
Photostories presents a rigorous method for participatory photography in social science research, developed over two decades of fieldwork with migrant communities, Indigenous populations and marginalized groups in Latin America and the Pacific Northwest.
The book gives researchers practical frameworks for moving from extractive documentation toward collaborative visual storytelling, with ethical protocols, facilitation guides and case studies from projects in Mexico, Colombia, Guatemala and Washington State.
For social scientists, public health researchers and community organizers who want methods that honor the expertise of the communities they serve.
