The Photographic Message

Roland Barthes takes the press images as an example of how a photograph is a message. A message with a source of emission, a channel of transmission and a point of reception. But whatever the origin and destination of the message, the photograph is not simply a product or a channel but also an object endowed with a structural autonomy. The structure is not isolated, it communicates with another structure: text. Both structure occupy their own defined spaces.
