Roland Barthes- "the death of the author" literary and photography critic
I have heard of two of the Barthes theories, one being "a photo ever lies" I strongly disagree.
the death of the author is in the birth of the reader- I think encapsulates every artistic medium in the world ranging from the everyday to the eternally seminal.
I have to say, after looking a bit more into Barthes whilst writing this i can across this:
"He elaborates the concept of the punctum to focus on the personal and emotional experience of the photograph as physically connected to its subject."-Patrizia di Bello
perhaps a picture can portray a lie-but never make the photo its self believe it.
models are actors who portray the desired aesthetics-
we do not forget that actors do not live the life they have on stage...
