Abstract

Roland Barthes was one of the pioneers of visual semiotics; Visual semiotics is the explanation and analysis of images in the context of signification systems and the search for a way to translate images into spoken language. He devoted his latest book, The Camera Lucida, to reflections on photography and believed that the photograph signified, more than it reflected, or represented reality. Signs and things that are considered important to the viewer as a reader of the photo, are the basis for interpretation and analysis.
