In 1994, two researchers, Caroline Wang and Mary Ann Burris, PhD, published an article titled, Empowerment through photo novella: Portraits of participation that laid the foundation for the development of this method. At the time, Wang was a postdoctoral fellow in Demography, from UC Berkeley and Burris, a PhD graduate from Stanford, was working at the Ford Foundation in Beijing China. According to Wang and Burris, the camera used in photo novella is put in the hands of “children, rural women, grassroots workers, and other constituents with little access to those who make decisions over their lives.” (Wang & Burris, 1994, p.171).

Photovoice, a qualitative methodological tool, was named by researchers Caroline Wang and Mary Ann Burris in the early 1990’s. Originally called photo novella, Wang and Burris describe it as a process by which people can identify their community through photographs. This methodology is considered to be community-based, participatory action research. This methodology has been intended for use with people who are not in positions of power to reach those who are making decisions that affect their lives. The purposes are to enable people to demonstrate and reflect on their community, engage in dialogue about important issues, and inform policy. Researchers describe Photovoice methodology as empowering.
