My article presents exemplary observations of everyday photo actions in groups of adolescents and adults. The observations are written on the basis of inner images. Questions that take a critical position towards the medium of photography and society are formulated based on these observations. The final part of the text presents the different photo actions for discussion and incorporates findings from the master's thesis. An art-educational contextualization forms the conclusion of the text, thus putting the emphasis on everyday actions from a mediating perspective.
