Sumario: Image representation has been involved in social investigations with different means: Data base, study objects, indicators of situations in cultural eras, thoughts and significance systems. This article means to show an alternative way of using images in asocial investigation; interventions in which social actors are called to promote it, so they can build and communicate the whole sense of its practices. The goal is to share some photography traits through personal reflections that are achieve within an unusual or accepted modality. In first place, some fieldwork experiences completed in Argentina are narrated, and is shown the state and kind of reflections that are produced through the confrontation with images that are own or can be taken as ones own on themes in specific contexts. From this point onwards, the text expresses that futures questions are accepted while they are linked with an experience between a gender work image, temporality as a characteristic in which photography acts as referent from the past, and the passing of time, and also the relationship between images, memory and silence.
