Photography is taking on an ever-stronger role and prominence in social work practice and research. An increasing number of projects and articles utilize or describe photography as a method for practice, or present research on applied photographic methods. Photography in Social Work and Social Change provides a comprehensive overview of photography in these areas. It features original applied content, state-of-the-art case examples, and user-friendly guides to introduce readers to the theory, methods, ethics, technical aspects, and cultural considerations of this practice. It bridges theory and knowledge with applications that can be replicated by students, practitioners, and researchers. With step-by-step guidelines, this book will be the go-to resource for anyone interested in photography in social work.
