Who We Are
We are a diverse team of experienced professionals.
PhotovoiceWorldwide (PVWW) is a small, woman-owned organization based in Midlothian, Virginia. We train individuals and organizations across the globe to use the photovoice method safely, ethically, and successfully. Cofounder Laura Lorenz was inspired to start PVWW in 2002 after witnessing how photovoice engages people of all ages and backgrounds to think critically about their lives and communicate their perspectives.
In 2019, following 17 years of publishing on photovoice research and facilitating photovoice projects and training, Laura formally launched PhotovoiceWorldwide. Since then, PVWW has built a diverse team of professionals experienced in the photovoice method. If you want to integrate photovoice into your work, we welcome you into our community of practice.

What is Photovoice?
With photovoice, individuals with valuable lived experience become co-researchers and changemakers.
