本文探讨了使用照片启发的方法在ESRC资助的研究，年轻消费者。参与者被要求拍摄对他们有意义的消费品的照片。这些随后被用于录音访谈，作为引发消费品和身份之间的关系的讨论。分析的重点是如何视觉表征的功能影响的版本的身份。我们展示了参与者如何适应和利用摄影图像的各个方面来创建他们的帐户。这是通过使用视觉图像来支持身份主张，并采用口头帐户来编辑和语境化的视觉图像的身份含义。我们建议，照片访谈为参与者提供了一个展示而不是“讲述”他们身份的机会，否则这些身份可能会被隐藏起来。因此，它可能是一个有用的工具，研究有争议的或有问题的身份地位。
The article examines the use of photo-elicitation methods in an ESRC-funded study of young consumers. Participants were asked to take photographs of consumer items that were significant to them. These were subsequently used in recorded interviews as a trigger to elicit the discussion of the relationship between consumer goods and identity. The analysis focuses on how the features of visual representation influence the versions of identity that are presented. We show how participants both accommodate to and exploit aspects of the photographic image in creating their accounts. This is achieved by using the visual image to bolster identity claims and employing the verbal accounts to edit and contextualise the identity implications of the visual image. We suggest that the photo interview offers participants an opportunity to show rather than 'tell' aspects of their identity that might have otherwise remained hidden. It may therefore be a useful tool for researching contentious or problematic identity positions.
