How do we read this photograph?
- We read an image as a photo and not as text.
- It involves a series of ambiguous and often contradictory meanings and relationships between the reader and the image.
- We call this critical discourse.
How do we read images?
When we look at an image, we engage in a series of complex readings, which relate as much to the expectations and assumptions that we bring to the image as to the image itself.
