I have always had a huge passion for photography so the second reading that we had to do this week really interested me and I feel as if I understood (for once) what the writer was saying and what he meant about photography and what it represents. 

Today we rarely see a photograph without a caption or title. For example you see on social media all these photographs people have taken of what they are doing, or where they are and all of them have a caption. You very rarely would see an image on Instagram without a caption or description of what the photographer wants to say about it. This reading links into the idea of textual analysis and about how without a title or caption people take their own interpretations of the images. For example I feel that in order to produce to the viewer a photograph with meaning and something that you really want them to understand- you need to work with what is available. When I did photography last year, my 3 final boards had no sort of description about what was being photographed, which meant that I needed to shoot these images in a way that the marker would clearly understand what I was trying to demonstrate. This is a tough part of photography I believe because there is no wrong image, photos shouldn’t necessarily need a caption to tell you what is going on because the photograph speaks itself. The way you personally interoperate the image is not wrong, but a well structured and thought about image should speak directly to the viewer for them to understand the photographers intentions.
