This article reflects upon the expectation, the encounter and redefinition of strategies, based on a concrete field experience: the photographic workshop named ?Fotografías Vitales, Memorias Biográficas y Álbumes Familiares? (Life photographs, biographic memories and family albums), developed at the end of 2014 at the Memorial of the locality of Paine, Chile, with participation of members of that Memorial who are relatives of ?disappeared? people. This work aims to think ethnographically about the particular ways photographic images can become relevant in life history and memories, as well as how sociopolitical events form part of an individual narration with varying strategies, divergences and convergences, with tensions or omissions.
