In the 200 years of photos being around, we can say that photography does not convey one ‘truth’. A photo captures a moment of reality. But the way we read that image, or situation for that matter, makes a difference.
Susan Sontag wrote about subjectivity and photography as an art form in her book, On Photography (1977). She writes about how photography is a medium and language to make art. She points out how it can both ‘lie’ and give ‘aesthetic pleasure’.
