Using Photovoice Research for Advertising Theory

Abstract

Abstract This article overviews the photovoice method and proposes ways in which photovoice can contribute to theory building in advertising. Although theory building using photovoice has been discussed in prior literature, the method has been ignored in advertising, and no study has connected photovoice to advertising research. This article presents definitions, history, and aspects of photovoice research for the purpose of understanding possible uses of photovoice for advertising research.
