This book seeks to address this gap by introducing "Photostories" as an innovative and transformative method for conducting qualitative research. Photostories harness the power of participatory photography to enable individuals from underserved and marginalized communities to visually articulate their stories, experiences, and perspectives.

“Photostories” aims to be a pioneering resource for researchers, educators, and practitioners seeking to add a participatory visual method to their menu of research approaches, while at the same time offering ways to empower marginalized communities and amplify their voices through the transformative power of photography. By delving into the nuances of Photostories, readers will gain valuable insights into a groundbreaking research method that has the potential to reshape the way we conduct qualitative research and engage with underserved populations.

Scholars in the social sciences, anthropology, sociology, psychology, and related disciplines will benefit from the methodological insights, practical guidance, and case studies presented in the book.
