Abstract
A photography group was established in one Irish mental health service during the Covid 19 pandemic to impact isolation, wellbeing, and recovery. This research explored the experience, benefits and challenges of group-based photography. Qualitative interviews were conducted with four participants and analyzed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis. Four themes were identified: a progression from beginner to amateur photographers; looking at the world with a photographer’s eye; working together as a photography team; and recognition of the interaction between occupation and wellbeing. The research indicates that photography can provide an immersive occupational experience and develop skills for people experiencing mental health challenges.
