This paper shows results of a visual education workshop made with teenagers of the Superação (Overcoming) Project, in Cubatão, São Paulo. The workshop used photographic language as a source to visual education. Therefore, the present study argues how this technical media and cultural aspects have influenced in how the teenagers now see and represent themselves. The references used as basis are about visual and media education. By comparing the photographs made before and after the workshop it was possible to have the following diagnosis: both practice and discussion made throughout the workshop awakened creativity and critical thinking in the way the young group saw themselves and their surroundings.
