PHOTOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATION
Greek: 'photos' light + 'graph' drawing: an optical/ mechanical/chemical recording

But is photography only a description/ illustration/ document/ art work? What about straight verus pictorial photography?

What about its origin, aura, message, reproduction?

Is it a presence without absence or an absence without presence? What about its materiality?

In semiotics, linguistics, anthropology and philosophy of language, indexicality is the phenomenon of a sign pointing to (or indexing) some object in the context in which it occurs. A sign that signifies indexically is called an index or, in philosophy, an indexical.
Charles Peirce's term 'indexicality' refers to the physical relationship between the object photographed and the resulting image. Paul Levinson emphasises the ability of photography to capture or reflect "a literal energy configuration from the real world" through a chemical process.

•Charles Sanders Pierce (1839-1914) was an American philosopher, known as the father of ‘pragmatism’. He was a logician and looked to mathematics and science to understand thought processes that he called SIGNS rather than IDEAS

•He developed theories based around the notion of the SIGN,

•IMPORTANT and RELEVANT to theories of photography

•What he called: the SIGN, the REFERENT and the INTERPRETANT
•Pierce’s sign theory, or semiotics, is an account of signification, representation, reference and meaning.
•‘I define a sign as anything which is so determined by something else, called its Object (or referent), and so determines an effect upon a person, which effect I call its interpretant’ (Pierce, 2003, p.345)
•SIGNS as SIGNIFIERS, for example, smoke or a red light

•REFERENT or OBJECT, for example the actual fire- an actual thing in the real word

•INTERPRETANT, the understanding we have of the sign/ object relation- i.e. if we see smoke, we might sound the alarm or run away or scream- it provokes an effect or reaction in us

•MEANING is, according to PIERCE, only found through the interpretant- it is the interpretation that generates in sign users
•Pierce thought that representations generate further interpretants in one of three ways:

•

•1. LIKENESS or RESEMBLANCE to the object à ICONS

•2. objects that consist in a correspondence IN FACT as INDICES (INDEX)

•3. signs whose relations to their objects is an imputed characterà SYMBOLS

Photography is another kind of language. It has its own word, grammar and tone. I really enjoy use this kind of language to communication, argue, scold, etc. Also it offers a huge platform let people who come from different country get the emotions of others. It different with film and painting or other form of art, photography is a kind of language come from this actual world, but not for spirit or fancy. I'm so appreciation that I can use this method talking when I'm silence.
