The table explains the type of Visual Studies mainly on using photograph methodologies, and it also explains the technique and method adopted. The table describes several Therapeutic Photography approaches. The idea of the process is the image or visual that the audience or viewer discussed. The argumentation on the process, the persuasion via image, and the message given are mainly photo approach.

Photo Elicitation Interview (PEI)	Qualitative : Open Interview One to One Interview	Process 1: Present One/two Visuals Process 2: Interview for process Process 3: Result and Analysis
Photo Interview	Quantitative or Qualitative approach Refer to specific Interview Protocol : Specific research question One to One Interview/Questionnaire *similar approach to PEI	Process 1: Present Visuals or Participants present their references Process 2: Interview for information / Specific inquiry Process 3: Result and Analysis
Auto-Photography	Quantitative study : Random or Specific Sampling	Process 1: Distribute Camera to the Participants Process 2: Interview for information* Process 3: Result and Analysis *indicator to variable of study
Photo Voice	Participants share their photography image with other participants. Indicators: Private and Personal Image sharing Small group sharing and talking	Process 1: Share photograph Process 2: Participants talk about photograph Process 3: Observational Analysis
Photo Feedback	Publish image and collect the feedback from target participants or random respondents.	Process 1: Share photograph in and platform Process 2: Participants respond Process 3: Collect Data Process 4: Analysis
Photo Art Therapy	Small groups use photograph and create artwork or doing art with it.	Process 1: Share photograph in any platform Process 2: Participants respond Process 3: Collect Data Process 4: Analysis
