Photo, connection to another reality

On Photography is considered a profound study of photography. It was first published in 1977 and has since been reprinted many times. This book has also been translated by Farzaneh Taheri and published by Aban Publishing. In this work, Sontag regards photography as the most important factor in transforming today’s world into one saturated with images. She believes that people often prefer representation to the direct, tangible experience of the moment. Nevertheless, in some passages she notes that, for many, photography—like dance or singing—serves primarily as a form of entertainment. Photography influences us and our self-perception. According to this philosopher, photographs now define frameworks and delineate the boundaries of transparency.
