Descriptive Emotion Sharing: Photovoice

Abstract

Photovoice is a method of qualitative study that is applied as an instrument for both personal and societal change. It is utilized in participatory community-based research and needs analysis. This method involves participants at all stages of the research process, from taking the photos to analyzing the images, using photography to show and record people's lived experiences.
 The main purpose of this paper is to inform researchers by explaining the definition, features, theoretical origins, and technical stages of the photovoice method. At the same time, it aims to attract the attention of researchers by noting the lack of organizational studies in the relevant literature and to be instrumental in both practical and theoretical developments. In order to meet the need for organizational studies, it is important for researchers to understand the photovoice method well. This study is expected to help researchers at this point.
