Photography-based intervention: When the aged meets digital age

Abstract

The advancement of medical technology has prolonged the life expectancy and improved the quality of life. Ageing becomes a global issue and catches multidisciplinary attention. Contrary to the over-reliance on others and resources consumption by the older people, the concept of active ageing prevails in the past two decades. In this paper, I will discuss, from a social work perspective, the implications of ageing, and suggest the application of photography-based practice model in addressing the issue.
