The new generation continues to be driven by imaging records anywhere at any time, thanks to advanced technology that allows us to see the world and situations in a variety of ways and in rich detail, which enabled the various photo-related researches to create methods such as photoelectricity, iconography, ecnography, among others. In this research, the photodiagnosis was used to sensitize individuals to the impacts of solid waste in a mangrove area. In this sense, this article aims to present the results of the implementation of photodiagnosis as a tool in Environmental Education. The methodological approach adopted has a qualitative character and was constituted in two distinct and consecutive stages. Interpretive analysis was used, one of the steps that make up content analysis, and data collection, which occurred through a focus group. The results of the research demonstrated that photography can be a great methodological tool allied to the processes of sensitization in environmental education for a change of behavior through the reflection of the images by its participants.
