Photo‐elicitationPhoto elicitation has become a familiar, if 

underutilized qualitative method. Simply described, in using this technique, rather than asking a subject, for example, ‘what is the role of the bicycle in Italian 

culture?’ a researcher might present a set of images…to an Italian or a group of Italians to elicit their explanations. Of course, the response to the images could well vary according to whether the respondents participate in the pictured reality as bicyclists, scooter or car drivers, or pedestrians. 

(Denzin and Lincoln, 2000: 725).

“short stories about hypothetical characters in specified circumstances, to whose situation the 

interviewee is invited to respond” (Finch, 1987: 105).

Auto‐photography

Auto‐photography as a method, encouraged respondents to take photographs which they then used during the interview to explain and 

explore their identity.

Who are you?

We want you to describe to yourself how you see yourself. To do this we would like you to take…12 

photographs that tell who you are. These photographs can be of anything just as long as they tell something about who you are. You should not be interested in your skills as a photographer keep in 

mind that the photographs should describe who you are as you see yourself. (Ziller, 1990: 34)

“It would be a grievous omission not to stress another advantage of auto‐photography: subject involvement…auto‐photography capitalizes on 

the inherent interest in photographic communication. Subject cooperation is high, and 

there is a general atmosphere of sincerity, perhaps because a photograph is not perceived as a throw‐away response, but as a response 

made in full view of the self” (Ziller, 1990: 36).
