Visual Elicitation Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis

Visual Elicitation Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (VE-IPA) combines the idiographic, sense-making framework of Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis with visual elicitation techniques — photographs, participant-produced drawings, or other images — to deepen access to lived experience. Visuals serve as concrete anchors that help participants articulate feelings and meanings that are difficult to express in words alone, making the approach especially productive for embodied, emotional, or tacit dimensions of experience.
