Abstract The method of participatory photography has been widely adapted by human geographers of the West in the past decade. This method is a complex qualitative approach which emphasizes the central role of the research participants. It requires participants to take photos or record videos in order to present their actual routines and feelings in the quotidian. It thus not only alters the power relationship between researchers and participants, but also evokes participants' emotions and memories that enable effective communications. Drawing on a comprehensive review of the recent body of literature on the application of participatory photography in Western human geography, this article summarizes the main types of participatory photography method which include Auto-photography, Photo-elicitation, Participatory video, Visitor employed photography, and PhotoVoice, explains its research processes and discusses its advantages and limitations. Our key findings suggest that participatory photography can, 1) Stimulate participants' aspiration to express themselves by evoking their feelings and memories; 2) Enhance meaningful communications between researchers and participants; 3) Raise participants' key role in research and increase their sense of participation in research process; 4) Promote researchers to explore participants' sense of place/space and social relations which reshape their daily practice. However, this research methods has some limitations.

Key words： participatory photography non-representational approach qualitative research research method
