History of Photography: Brief Overview of the Most
Exciting and Impressive Ways of Cultural
Representation
Introduction
Photography is one of the most interesting and impressive ways and techniques of culture
representation. The relationship between representation and the culture in which they operate
is rarely a matter of passive reflection. Susan Song states that “photography is punctuated by a
series of dualistic controversies” (Grivett, 2005). In historical perspective, these controversies
are caused by cultural changes, a new perception of the world and new techniques applied to
photography.
Reflection of the material world
Hectically, photography has provided new visions which have enabled, for better or worse, the
transitions from the nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Science and technology, as well as
culture in general, demand representational systems to promote and facilitate change in
perception and interpretation of photography. The dualistic controversy can be found in
perception and reflection of the material world, in film and digital technologies. The
controversy is that “digital photographers can and will cheat” (Grivett, 2005). Researchers
underline that every historical period creates controversy proving the validity of the old
technology and diminishing the value of a new one. For instance, there were ‘a slides versus
prints controversy”, color versus black and whites prints but at the beginning of the 21st
century, we face print versus digital photos controversy. Despite these differences, through
photos, the artists communicate their views expressing a unique vision of reality and values
(Marien, 2006). Photos can be seen as self-expression of the artists. During the 20th century,
photography came to prove itself capable of transforming the culture from which it sprang and
was also a quintessential product of its era, this it creates a new controversy: deliberation versus
serendipity. For instance, photography documented the culture of the 1920s and world wars,
the Great Depression-era, and the liberation movement. Photos from different decades differ in
their techniques, representation, and images (Marien, 2006). The controversy is that
photography can be perceived as individual sensations, thus the entire patterns of perceptual
information have to be taken into account. They depend upon the relative attributes of the
objects of perception. For instance, the perception of war by world war photographers differs
greatly from modern journalists who pay attention to the sensation and emotions of soldiers
avoiding battlefield operations (Marien, 2006). Subjectivity and objectivity of photography
was reflected in the history of the 20th century with emphasis on the overall context of the
photographed object. The historical example of this is still frames and motion films, stereo and
‘flatties (Grivett, 2005). It is possible to say that the convergence of these procedures resulted
in the medium of photography which, though related to painting and drawing, amounts to an
entirely new representational system with its particular attributes (Newhall, 1982). From the
historical standpoint, during the nineteenth-century critics supposed that photography would,
through its intrinsic properties, have the power to change or influence people’s moral
standpoints and tastes. Following Frith, photography was interpreted as ‘the replication of
perfection’ (Newhall, 1982). Gravett states that: “It is possible to create the illusion of depth,..
with, stereo imaging, stereo-grams, and holograms” (Grivett, 2005).
The history suggests that photography is art reflecting personal values and perceptions of a
photographer. Many photographers, such as Thomas Annan (1868), compiled documentary
records of the slum districts (Newhall 1982). Thus, these photos are often perceived as art
playing the role of social criticism. The photographs did have the virtue of revealing the
camera’s potential to bring to a wider public evidence of social conditions and injustices. They
could have been seen as establishing the traditional approach of social documentary
(Rosenblum, 2007).
Conclusion
Photography has undergone dramatic stylistic and contextual changes over the past 30 years.
While some of these changes may be due to technical innovation, most innovations in approach
have been determined by the dynamics of photography operating in a changing society. Like
any other art, photography is a dynamic practice which is subject to change and innovation
over time. The dualistic controversies are based and caused by differences in perceptions,
technologies, and values of people.

prints controversy”, color versus black and whites prints but at the beginning of the 21st
century, we face print versus digital photos controversy. Despite these differences, through
photos, the artists communicate their views expressing a unique vision of reality and values
(Marien, 2006). Photos can be seen as self-expression of the artists. During the 20th century,
photography came to prove itself capable of transforming the culture from which it sprang and
was also a quintessential product of its era, this it creates a new controversy: deliberation versus
serendipity. For instance, photography documented the culture of the 1920s and world wars,
the Great Depression-era, and the liberation movement. Photos from different decades differ in
their techniques, representation, and images (Marien, 2006). The controversy is that
photography can be perceived as individual sensations, thus the entire patterns of perceptual
information have to be taken into account. They depend upon the relative attributes of the
objects of perception. For instance, the perception of war by world war photographers differs
greatly from modern journalists who pay attention to the sensation and emotions of soldiers
avoiding battlefield operations (Marien, 2006). Subjectivity and objectivity of photography
was reflected in the history of the 20th century with emphasis on the overall context of the
photographed object. The historical example of this is still frames and motion films, stereo and
‘flatties (Grivett, 2005). It is possible to say that the convergence of these procedures resulted
in the medium of photography which, though related to painting and drawing, amounts to an
entirely new representational system with its particular attributes (Newhall, 1982). From the
historical standpoint, during the nineteenth-century critics supposed that photography would,
through its intrinsic properties, have the power to change or influence people’s moral
standpoints and tastes. Following Frith, photography was interpreted as ‘the replication of
perfection’ (Newhall, 1982). Gravett states that: “It is possible to create the illusion of depth,..
with, stereo imaging, stereo-grams, and holograms” (Grivett, 2005).
The history suggests that photography is art reflecting personal values and perceptions of a
photographer. Many photographers, such as Thomas Annan (1868), compiled documentary
records of the slum districts (Newhall 1982). Thus, these photos are often perceived as art
playing the role of social criticism. The photographs did have the virtue of revealing the
camera’s potential to bring to a wider public evidence of social conditions and injustices. They
could have been seen as establishing the traditional approach of social documentary
(Rosenblum, 2007).
Conclusion
Photography has undergone dramatic stylistic and contextual changes over the past 30 years.
While some of these changes may be due to technical innovation, most innovations in approach
have been determined by the dynamics of photography operating in a changing society. Like
any other art, photography is a dynamic practice which is subject to change and innovation
over time. The dualistic controversies are based and caused by differences in perceptions,
technologies, and values of people.
Reflection of the material world
Hectically, photography has provided new visions which have enabled, for better or worse, the
transitions from the nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Science and technology, as well as
culture in general, demand representational systems to promote and facilitate change in
perception and interpretation of photography. The dualistic controversy can be found in
perception and reflection of the material world, in film and digital technologies. The
controversy is that “digital photographers can and will cheat” (Grivett, 2005). Researchers

greatly from modern journalists who pay attention to the sensation and emotions of soldiers
avoiding battlefield operations (Marien, 2006). Subjectivity and objectivity of photography
was reflected in the history of the 20th century with emphasis on the overall context of the
photographed object. The historical example of this is still frames and motion films, stereo and
‘flatties (Grivett, 2005). It is possible to say that the convergence of these procedures resulted
in the medium of photography which, though related to painting and drawing, amounts to an
entirely new representational system with its particular attributes (Newhall, 1982). From the
historical standpoint, during the nineteenth-century critics supposed that photography would,
through its intrinsic properties, have the power to change or influence people’s moral
standpoints and tastes. Following Frith, photography was interpreted as ‘the replication of
perfection’ (Newhall, 1982). Gravett states that: “It is possible to create the illusion of depth,..
with, stereo imaging, stereo-grams, and holograms” (Grivett, 2005).
The history suggests that photography is art reflecting personal values and perceptions of a
photographer. Many photographers, such as Thomas Annan (1868), compiled documentary
records of the slum districts (Newhall 1982). Thus, these photos are often perceived as art
playing the role of social criticism. The photographs did have the virtue of revealing the
camera’s potential to bring to a wider public evidence of social conditions and injustices. They
could have been seen as establishing the traditional approach of social documentary
(Rosenblum, 2007).
Conclusion
Photography has undergone dramatic stylistic and contextual changes over the past 30 years.
While some of these changes may be due to technical innovation, most innovations in approach
have been determined by the dynamics of photography operating in a changing society. Like
any other art, photography is a dynamic practice which is subject to change and innovation
over time. The dualistic controversies are based and caused by differences in perceptions,
technologies, and values of people.
Reflection of the material world
Hectically, photography has provided new visions which have enabled, for better or worse, the
transitions from the nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Science and technology, as well as
culture in general, demand representational systems to promote and facilitate change in
perception and interpretation of photography. The dualistic controversy can be found in
perception and reflection of the material world, in film and digital technologies. The
controversy is that “digital photographers can and will cheat” (Grivett, 2005). Researchers
underline that every historical period creates controversy proving the validity of the old
technology and diminishing the value of a new one. For instance, there were ‘a slides versus
prints controversy”, color versus black and whites prints but at the beginning of the 21st
century, we face print versus digital photos controversy. Despite these differences, through
photos, the artists communicate their views expressing a unique vision of reality and values
(Marien, 2006). Photos can be seen as self-expression of the artists. During the 20th century,
photography came to prove itself capable of transforming the culture from which it sprang and
was also a quintessential product of its era, this it creates a new controversy: deliberation versus
serendipity. For instance, photography documented the culture of the 1920s and world wars,
the Great Depression-era, and the liberation movement. Photos from different decades differ in
their techniques, representation, and images (Marien, 2006). The controversy is that
photography can be perceived as individual sensations, thus the entire patterns of perceptual
information have to be taken into account. They depend upon the relative attributes of the
objects of perception. For instance, the perception of war by world war photographers differs

with, stereo imaging, stereo-grams, and holograms” (Grivett, 2005).
The history suggests that photography is art reflecting personal values and perceptions of a
photographer. Many photographers, such as Thomas Annan (1868), compiled documentary
records of the slum districts (Newhall 1982). Thus, these photos are often perceived as art
playing the role of social criticism. The photographs did have the virtue of revealing the
camera’s potential to bring to a wider public evidence of social conditions and injustices. They
could have been seen as establishing the traditional approach of social documentary
(Rosenblum, 2007).
Conclusion
Photography has undergone dramatic stylistic and contextual changes over the past 30 years.
While some of these changes may be due to technical innovation, most innovations in approach
have been determined by the dynamics of photography operating in a changing society. Like
any other art, photography is a dynamic practice which is subject to change and innovation
over time. The dualistic controversies are based and caused by differences in perceptions,
technologies, and values of people.
Reflection of the material world
Hectically, photography has provided new visions which have enabled, for better or worse, the
transitions from the nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Science and technology, as well as
culture in general, demand representational systems to promote and facilitate change in
perception and interpretation of photography. The dualistic controversy can be found in
perception and reflection of the material world, in film and digital technologies. The
controversy is that “digital photographers can and will cheat” (Grivett, 2005). Researchers
underline that every historical period creates controversy proving the validity of the old
technology and diminishing the value of a new one. For instance, there were ‘a slides versus
prints controversy”, color versus black and whites prints but at the beginning of the 21st
century, we face print versus digital photos controversy. Despite these differences, through
photos, the artists communicate their views expressing a unique vision of reality and values
(Marien, 2006). Photos can be seen as self-expression of the artists. During the 20th century,
photography came to prove itself capable of transforming the culture from which it sprang and
was also a quintessential product of its era, this it creates a new controversy: deliberation versus
serendipity. For instance, photography documented the culture of the 1920s and world wars,
the Great Depression-era, and the liberation movement. Photos from different decades differ in
their techniques, representation, and images (Marien, 2006). The controversy is that
photography can be perceived as individual sensations, thus the entire patterns of perceptual
information have to be taken into account. They depend upon the relative attributes of the
objects of perception. For instance, the perception of war by world war photographers differs
greatly from modern journalists who pay attention to the sensation and emotions of soldiers
avoiding battlefield operations (Marien, 2006). Subjectivity and objectivity of photography
was reflected in the history of the 20th century with emphasis on the overall context of the
photographed object. The historical example of this is still frames and motion films, stereo and
‘flatties (Grivett, 2005). It is possible to say that the convergence of these procedures resulted
in the medium of photography which, though related to painting and drawing, amounts to an
entirely new representational system with its particular attributes (Newhall, 1982). From the
historical standpoint, during the nineteenth-century critics supposed that photography would,
through its intrinsic properties, have the power to change or influence people’s moral
standpoints and tastes. Following Frith, photography was interpreted as ‘the replication of
perfection’ (Newhall, 1982). Gravett states that: “It is possible to create the illusion of depth,..

over time. The dualistic controversies are based and caused by differences in perceptions,
technologies, and values of people.
Reflection of the material world
Hectically, photography has provided new visions which have enabled, for better or worse, the
transitions from the nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Science and technology, as well as
culture in general, demand representational systems to promote and facilitate change in
perception and interpretation of photography. The dualistic controversy can be found in
perception and reflection of the material world, in film and digital technologies. The
controversy is that “digital photographers can and will cheat” (Grivett, 2005). Researchers
underline that every historical period creates controversy proving the validity of the old
technology and diminishing the value of a new one. For instance, there were ‘a slides versus
prints controversy”, color versus black and whites prints but at the beginning of the 21st
century, we face print versus digital photos controversy. Despite these differences, through
photos, the artists communicate their views expressing a unique vision of reality and values
(Marien, 2006). Photos can be seen as self-expression of the artists. During the 20th century,
photography came to prove itself capable of transforming the culture from which it sprang and
was also a quintessential product of its era, this it creates a new controversy: deliberation versus
serendipity. For instance, photography documented the culture of the 1920s and world wars,
the Great Depression-era, and the liberation movement. Photos from different decades differ in
their techniques, representation, and images (Marien, 2006). The controversy is that
photography can be perceived as individual sensations, thus the entire patterns of perceptual
information have to be taken into account. They depend upon the relative attributes of the
objects of perception. For instance, the perception of war by world war photographers differs
greatly from modern journalists who pay attention to the sensation and emotions of soldiers
avoiding battlefield operations (Marien, 2006). Subjectivity and objectivity of photography
was reflected in the history of the 20th century with emphasis on the overall context of the
photographed object. The historical example of this is still frames and motion films, stereo and
‘flatties (Grivett, 2005). It is possible to say that the convergence of these procedures resulted
in the medium of photography which, though related to painting and drawing, amounts to an
entirely new representational system with its particular attributes (Newhall, 1982). From the
historical standpoint, during the nineteenth-century critics supposed that photography would,
through its intrinsic properties, have the power to change or influence people’s moral
standpoints and tastes. Following Frith, photography was interpreted as ‘the replication of
perfection’ (Newhall, 1982). Gravett states that: “It is possible to create the illusion of depth,..
with, stereo imaging, stereo-grams, and holograms” (Grivett, 2005).
The history suggests that photography is art reflecting personal values and perceptions of a
photographer. Many photographers, such as Thomas Annan (1868), compiled documentary
records of the slum districts (Newhall 1982). Thus, these photos are often perceived as art
playing the role of social criticism. The photographs did have the virtue of revealing the
camera’s potential to bring to a wider public evidence of social conditions and injustices. They
could have been seen as establishing the traditional approach of social documentary
(Rosenblum, 2007).
Conclusion
Photography has undergone dramatic stylistic and contextual changes over the past 30 years.
While some of these changes may be due to technical innovation, most innovations in approach
have been determined by the dynamics of photography operating in a changing society. Like
any other art, photography is a dynamic practice which is subject to change and innovation
over time. The dualistic controversies are based and caused by differences in perceptions,

(Marien, 2006). Photos can be seen as self-expression of the artists. During the 20th century,
photography came to prove itself capable of transforming the culture from which it sprang and
was also a quintessential product of its era, this it creates a new controversy: deliberation versus
serendipity. For instance, photography documented the culture of the 1920s and world wars,
the Great Depression-era, and the liberation movement. Photos from different decades differ in
their techniques, representation, and images (Marien, 2006). The controversy is that
photography can be perceived as individual sensations, thus the entire patterns of perceptual
information have to be taken into account. They depend upon the relative attributes of the
objects of perception. For instance, the perception of war by world war photographers differs
greatly from modern journalists who pay attention to the sensation and emotions of soldiers
avoiding battlefield operations (Marien, 2006). Subjectivity and objectivity of photography
was reflected in the history of the 20th century with emphasis on the overall context of the
photographed object. The historical example of this is still frames and motion films, stereo and
‘flatties (Grivett, 2005). It is possible to say that the convergence of these procedures resulted
in the medium of photography which, though related to painting and drawing, amounts to an
entirely new representational system with its particular attributes (Newhall, 1982). From the
historical standpoint, during the nineteenth-century critics supposed that photography would,
through its intrinsic properties, have the power to change or influence people’s moral
standpoints and tastes. Following Frith, photography was interpreted as ‘the replication of
perfection’ (Newhall, 1982). Gravett states that: “It is possible to create the illusion of depth,..
with, stereo imaging, stereo-grams, and holograms” (Grivett, 2005).
The history suggests that photography is art reflecting personal values and perceptions of a
photographer. Many photographers, such as Thomas Annan (1868), compiled documentary
records of the slum districts (Newhall 1982). Thus, these photos are often perceived as art
playing the role of social criticism. The photographs did have the virtue of revealing the
camera’s potential to bring to a wider public evidence of social conditions and injustices. They
could have been seen as establishing the traditional approach of social documentary
(Rosenblum, 2007).
Conclusion
Photography has undergone dramatic stylistic and contextual changes over the past 30 years.
While some of these changes may be due to technical innovation, most innovations in approach
have been determined by the dynamics of photography operating in a changing society. Like
any other art, photography is a dynamic practice which is subject to change and innovation
over time. The dualistic controversies are based and caused by differences in perceptions,
technologies, and values of people.
Reflection of the material world
Hectically, photography has provided new visions which have enabled, for better or worse, the
transitions from the nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Science and technology, as well as
culture in general, demand representational systems to promote and facilitate change in
perception and interpretation of photography. The dualistic controversy can be found in
perception and reflection of the material world, in film and digital technologies. The
controversy is that “digital photographers can and will cheat” (Grivett, 2005). Researchers
underline that every historical period creates controversy proving the validity of the old
technology and diminishing the value of a new one. For instance, there were ‘a slides versus
prints controversy”, color versus black and whites prints but at the beginning of the 21st
century, we face print versus digital photos controversy. Despite these differences, through

photographed object. The historical example of this is still frames and motion films, stereo and
‘flatties (Grivett, 2005). It is possible to say that the convergence of these procedures resulted
in the medium of photography which, though related to painting and drawing, amounts to an
entirely new representational system with its particular attributes (Newhall, 1982). From the
historical standpoint, during the nineteenth-century critics supposed that photography would,
through its intrinsic properties, have the power to change or influence people’s moral
standpoints and tastes. Following Frith, photography was interpreted as ‘the replication of
perfection’ (Newhall, 1982). Gravett states that: “It is possible to create the illusion of depth,..
with, stereo imaging, stereo-grams, and holograms” (Grivett, 2005).
The history suggests that photography is art reflecting personal values and perceptions of a
photographer. Many photographers, such as Thomas Annan (1868), compiled documentary
records of the slum districts (Newhall 1982). Thus, these photos are often perceived as art
playing the role of social criticism. The photographs did have the virtue of revealing the
camera’s potential to bring to a wider public evidence of social conditions and injustices. They
could have been seen as establishing the traditional approach of social documentary
(Rosenblum, 2007).
Conclusion
Photography has undergone dramatic stylistic and contextual changes over the past 30 years.
While some of these changes may be due to technical innovation, most innovations in approach
have been determined by the dynamics of photography operating in a changing society. Like
any other art, photography is a dynamic practice which is subject to change and innovation
over time. The dualistic controversies are based and caused by differences in perceptions,
technologies, and values of people.
Reflection of the material world
Hectically, photography has provided new visions which have enabled, for better or worse, the
transitions from the nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Science and technology, as well as
culture in general, demand representational systems to promote and facilitate change in
perception and interpretation of photography. The dualistic controversy can be found in
perception and reflection of the material world, in film and digital technologies. The
controversy is that “digital photographers can and will cheat” (Grivett, 2005). Researchers
underline that every historical period creates controversy proving the validity of the old
technology and diminishing the value of a new one. For instance, there were ‘a slides versus
prints controversy”, color versus black and whites prints but at the beginning of the 21st
century, we face print versus digital photos controversy. Despite these differences, through
photos, the artists communicate their views expressing a unique vision of reality and values
(Marien, 2006). Photos can be seen as self-expression of the artists. During the 20th century,
photography came to prove itself capable of transforming the culture from which it sprang and
was also a quintessential product of its era, this it creates a new controversy: deliberation versus
serendipity. For instance, photography documented the culture of the 1920s and world wars,
the Great Depression-era, and the liberation movement. Photos from different decades differ in
their techniques, representation, and images (Marien, 2006). The controversy is that
photography can be perceived as individual sensations, thus the entire patterns of perceptual
information have to be taken into account. They depend upon the relative attributes of the
objects of perception. For instance, the perception of war by world war photographers differs
greatly from modern journalists who pay attention to the sensation and emotions of soldiers
avoiding battlefield operations (Marien, 2006). Subjectivity and objectivity of photography

records of the slum districts (Newhall 1982). Thus, these photos are often perceived as art
playing the role of social criticism. The photographs did have the virtue of revealing the
camera’s potential to bring to a wider public evidence of social conditions and injustices. They
could have been seen as establishing the traditional approach of social documentary
(Rosenblum, 2007).
Conclusion
Photography has undergone dramatic stylistic and contextual changes over the past 30 years.
While some of these changes may be due to technical innovation, most innovations in approach
have been determined by the dynamics of photography operating in a changing society. Like
any other art, photography is a dynamic practice which is subject to change and innovation
over time. The dualistic controversies are based and caused by differences in perceptions,
technologies, and values of people.
Reflection of the material world
Hectically, photography has provided new visions which have enabled, for better or worse, the
transitions from the nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Science and technology, as well as
culture in general, demand representational systems to promote and facilitate change in
perception and interpretation of photography. The dualistic controversy can be found in
perception and reflection of the material world, in film and digital technologies. The
controversy is that “digital photographers can and will cheat” (Grivett, 2005). Researchers
underline that every historical period creates controversy proving the validity of the old
technology and diminishing the value of a new one. For instance, there were ‘a slides versus
prints controversy”, color versus black and whites prints but at the beginning of the 21st
century, we face print versus digital photos controversy. Despite these differences, through
photos, the artists communicate their views expressing a unique vision of reality and values
(Marien, 2006). Photos can be seen as self-expression of the artists. During the 20th century,
photography came to prove itself capable of transforming the culture from which it sprang and
was also a quintessential product of its era, this it creates a new controversy: deliberation versus
serendipity. For instance, photography documented the culture of the 1920s and world wars,
the Great Depression-era, and the liberation movement. Photos from different decades differ in
their techniques, representation, and images (Marien, 2006). The controversy is that
photography can be perceived as individual sensations, thus the entire patterns of perceptual
information have to be taken into account. They depend upon the relative attributes of the
objects of perception. For instance, the perception of war by world war photographers differs
greatly from modern journalists who pay attention to the sensation and emotions of soldiers
avoiding battlefield operations (Marien, 2006). Subjectivity and objectivity of photography
was reflected in the history of the 20th century with emphasis on the overall context of the
photographed object. The historical example of this is still frames and motion films, stereo and
‘flatties (Grivett, 2005). It is possible to say that the convergence of these procedures resulted
in the medium of photography which, though related to painting and drawing, amounts to an
entirely new representational system with its particular attributes (Newhall, 1982). From the
historical standpoint, during the nineteenth-century critics supposed that photography would,
through its intrinsic properties, have the power to change or influence people’s moral
standpoints and tastes. Following Frith, photography was interpreted as ‘the replication of
perfection’ (Newhall, 1982). Gravett states that: “It is possible to create the illusion of depth,..

perception and interpretation of photography. The dualistic controversy can be found in
perception and reflection of the material world, in film and digital technologies. The
controversy is that “digital photographers can and will cheat” (Grivett, 2005). Researchers
underline that every historical period creates controversy proving the validity of the old
technology and diminishing the value of a new one. For instance, there were ‘a slides versus
prints controversy”, color versus black and whites prints but at the beginning of the 21st
century, we face print versus digital photos controversy. Despite these differences, through
photos, the artists communicate their views expressing a unique vision of reality and values
(Marien, 2006). Photos can be seen as self-expression of the artists. During the 20th century,
photography came to prove itself capable of transforming the culture from which it sprang and
was also a quintessential product of its era, this it creates a new controversy: deliberation versus
serendipity. For instance, photography documented the culture of the 1920s and world wars,
the Great Depression-era, and the liberation movement. Photos from different decades differ in
their techniques, representation, and images (Marien, 2006). The controversy is that
photography can be perceived as individual sensations, thus the entire patterns of perceptual
information have to be taken into account. They depend upon the relative attributes of the
objects of perception. For instance, the perception of war by world war photographers differs
greatly from modern journalists who pay attention to the sensation and emotions of soldiers
avoiding battlefield operations (Marien, 2006). Subjectivity and objectivity of photography
was reflected in the history of the 20th century with emphasis on the overall context of the
photographed object. The historical example of this is still frames and motion films, stereo and
‘flatties (Grivett, 2005). It is possible to say that the convergence of these procedures resulted
in the medium of photography which, though related to painting and drawing, amounts to an
entirely new representational system with its particular attributes (Newhall, 1982). From the
historical standpoint, during the nineteenth-century critics supposed that photography would,
through its intrinsic properties, have the power to change or influence people’s moral
standpoints and tastes. Following Frith, photography was interpreted as ‘the replication of
perfection’ (Newhall, 1982). Gravett states that: “It is possible to create the illusion of depth,..
with, stereo imaging, stereo-grams, and holograms” (Grivett, 2005).
The history suggests that photography is art reflecting personal values and perceptions of a
photographer. Many photographers, such as Thomas Annan (1868), compiled documentary
records of the slum districts (Newhall 1982). Thus, these photos are often perceived as art
playing the role of social criticism. The photographs did have the virtue of revealing the
camera’s potential to bring to a wider public evidence of social conditions and injustices. They
could have been seen as establishing the traditional approach of social documentary
(Rosenblum, 2007).
Conclusion
Photography has undergone dramatic stylistic and contextual changes over the past 30 years.
While some of these changes may be due to technical innovation, most innovations in approach
have been determined by the dynamics of photography operating in a changing society. Like
any other art, photography is a dynamic practice which is subject to change and innovation
over time. The dualistic controversies are based and caused by differences in perceptions,
technologies, and values of people.

the Great Depression-era, and the liberation movement. Photos from different decades differ in
their techniques, representation, and images (Marien, 2006). The controversy is that
photography can be perceived as individual sensations, thus the entire patterns of perceptual
information have to be taken into account. They depend upon the relative attributes of the
objects of perception. For instance, the perception of war by world war photographers differs
greatly from modern journalists who pay attention to the sensation and emotions of soldiers
avoiding battlefield operations (Marien, 2006). Subjectivity and objectivity of photography
was reflected in the history of the 20th century with emphasis on the overall context of the
photographed object. The historical example of this is still frames and motion films, stereo and
‘flatties (Grivett, 2005). It is possible to say that the convergence of these procedures resulted
in the medium of photography which, though related to painting and drawing, amounts to an
entirely new representational system with its particular attributes (Newhall, 1982). From the
historical standpoint, during the nineteenth-century critics supposed that photography would,
through its intrinsic properties, have the power to change or influence people’s moral
standpoints and tastes. Following Frith, photography was interpreted as ‘the replication of
perfection’ (Newhall, 1982). Gravett states that: “It is possible to create the illusion of depth,..
with, stereo imaging, stereo-grams, and holograms” (Grivett, 2005).
The history suggests that photography is art reflecting personal values and perceptions of a
photographer. Many photographers, such as Thomas Annan (1868), compiled documentary
records of the slum districts (Newhall 1982). Thus, these photos are often perceived as art
playing the role of social criticism. The photographs did have the virtue of revealing the
camera’s potential to bring to a wider public evidence of social conditions and injustices. They
could have been seen as establishing the traditional approach of social documentary
(Rosenblum, 2007).
Conclusion
Photography has undergone dramatic stylistic and contextual changes over the past 30 years.
While some of these changes may be due to technical innovation, most innovations in approach
have been determined by the dynamics of photography operating in a changing society. Like
any other art, photography is a dynamic practice which is subject to change and innovation
over time. The dualistic controversies are based and caused by differences in perceptions,
technologies, and values of people.
Reflection of the material world
Hectically, photography has provided new visions which have enabled, for better or worse, the
transitions from the nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Science and technology, as well as
culture in general, demand representational systems to promote and facilitate change in
perception and interpretation of photography. The dualistic controversy can be found in
perception and reflection of the material world, in film and digital technologies. The
controversy is that “digital photographers can and will cheat” (Grivett, 2005). Researchers
underline that every historical period creates controversy proving the validity of the old
technology and diminishing the value of a new one. For instance, there were ‘a slides versus
prints controversy”, color versus black and whites prints but at the beginning of the 21st
century, we face print versus digital photos controversy. Despite these differences, through
photos, the artists communicate their views expressing a unique vision of reality and values
(Marien, 2006). Photos can be seen as self-expression of the artists. During the 20th century,
photography came to prove itself capable of transforming the culture from which it sprang and

historical standpoint, during the nineteenth-century critics supposed that photography would,
through its intrinsic properties, have the power to change or influence people’s moral
standpoints and tastes. Following Frith, photography was interpreted as ‘the replication of
perfection’ (Newhall, 1982). Gravett states that: “It is possible to create the illusion of depth,..
with, stereo imaging, stereo-grams, and holograms” (Grivett, 2005).
The history suggests that photography is art reflecting personal values and perceptions of a
photographer. Many photographers, such as Thomas Annan (1868), compiled documentary
records of the slum districts (Newhall 1982). Thus, these photos are often perceived as art
playing the role of social criticism. The photographs did have the virtue of revealing the
camera’s potential to bring to a wider public evidence of social conditions and injustices. They
could have been seen as establishing the traditional approach of social documentary
(Rosenblum, 2007).
Conclusion
Photography has undergone dramatic stylistic and contextual changes over the past 30 years.
While some of these changes may be due to technical innovation, most innovations in approach
have been determined by the dynamics of photography operating in a changing society. Like
any other art, photography is a dynamic practice which is subject to change and innovation
over time. The dualistic controversies are based and caused by differences in perceptions,
technologies, and values of people.
Reflection of the material world
Hectically, photography has provided new visions which have enabled, for better or worse, the
transitions from the nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Science and technology, as well as
culture in general, demand representational systems to promote and facilitate change in
perception and interpretation of photography. The dualistic controversy can be found in
perception and reflection of the material world, in film and digital technologies. The
controversy is that “digital photographers can and will cheat” (Grivett, 2005). Researchers
underline that every historical period creates controversy proving the validity of the old
technology and diminishing the value of a new one. For instance, there were ‘a slides versus
prints controversy”, color versus black and whites prints but at the beginning of the 21st
century, we face print versus digital photos controversy. Despite these differences, through
photos, the artists communicate their views expressing a unique vision of reality and values
(Marien, 2006). Photos can be seen as self-expression of the artists. During the 20th century,
photography came to prove itself capable of transforming the culture from which it sprang and
was also a quintessential product of its era, this it creates a new controversy: deliberation versus
serendipity. For instance, photography documented the culture of the 1920s and world wars,
the Great Depression-era, and the liberation movement. Photos from different decades differ in
their techniques, representation, and images (Marien, 2006). The controversy is that
photography can be perceived as individual sensations, thus the entire patterns of perceptual
information have to be taken into account. They depend upon the relative attributes of the
objects of perception. For instance, the perception of war by world war photographers differs
greatly from modern journalists who pay attention to the sensation and emotions of soldiers
avoiding battlefield operations (Marien, 2006). Subjectivity and objectivity of photography
was reflected in the history of the 20th century with emphasis on the overall context of the
photographed object. The historical example of this is still frames and motion films, stereo and
‘flatties (Grivett, 2005). It is possible to say that the convergence of these procedures resulted
in the medium of photography which, though related to painting and drawing, amounts to an
entirely new representational system with its particular attributes (Newhall, 1982). From the

Photography has undergone dramatic stylistic and contextual changes over the past 30 years.
While some of these changes may be due to technical innovation, most innovations in approach
have been determined by the dynamics of photography operating in a changing society. Like
any other art, photography is a dynamic practice which is subject to change and innovation
over time. The dualistic controversies are based and caused by differences in perceptions,
technologies, and values of people.
Reflection of the material world
Hectically, photography has provided new visions which have enabled, for better or worse, the
transitions from the nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Science and technology, as well as
culture in general, demand representational systems to promote and facilitate change in
perception and interpretation of photography. The dualistic controversy can be found in
perception and reflection of the material world, in film and digital technologies. The
controversy is that “digital photographers can and will cheat” (Grivett, 2005). Researchers
underline that every historical period creates controversy proving the validity of the old
technology and diminishing the value of a new one. For instance, there were ‘a slides versus
prints controversy”, color versus black and whites prints but at the beginning of the 21st
century, we face print versus digital photos controversy. Despite these differences, through
photos, the artists communicate their views expressing a unique vision of reality and values
(Marien, 2006). Photos can be seen as self-expression of the artists. During the 20th century,
photography came to prove itself capable of transforming the culture from which it sprang and
was also a quintessential product of its era, this it creates a new controversy: deliberation versus
serendipity. For instance, photography documented the culture of the 1920s and world wars,
the Great Depression-era, and the liberation movement. Photos from different decades differ in
their techniques, representation, and images (Marien, 2006). The controversy is that
photography can be perceived as individual sensations, thus the entire patterns of perceptual
information have to be taken into account. They depend upon the relative attributes of the
objects of perception. For instance, the perception of war by world war photographers differs
greatly from modern journalists who pay attention to the sensation and emotions of soldiers
avoiding battlefield operations (Marien, 2006). Subjectivity and objectivity of photography
was reflected in the history of the 20th century with emphasis on the overall context of the
photographed object. The historical example of this is still frames and motion films, stereo and
‘flatties (Grivett, 2005). It is possible to say that the convergence of these procedures resulted
in the medium of photography which, though related to painting and drawing, amounts to an
entirely new representational system with its particular attributes (Newhall, 1982). From the
historical standpoint, during the nineteenth-century critics supposed that photography would,
through its intrinsic properties, have the power to change or influence people’s moral
standpoints and tastes. Following Frith, photography was interpreted as ‘the replication of
perfection’ (Newhall, 1982). Gravett states that: “It is possible to create the illusion of depth,..
with, stereo imaging, stereo-grams, and holograms” (Grivett, 2005).
The history suggests that photography is art reflecting personal values and perceptions of a
photographer. Many photographers, such as Thomas Annan (1868), compiled documentary
records of the slum districts (Newhall 1982). Thus, these photos are often perceived as art
playing the role of social criticism. The photographs did have the virtue of revealing the
camera’s potential to bring to a wider public evidence of social conditions and injustices. They
could have been seen as establishing the traditional approach of social documentary
(Rosenblum, 2007).

prints controversy”, color versus black and whites prints but at the beginning of the 21st
century, we face print versus digital photos controversy. Despite these differences, through
photos, the artists communicate their views expressing a unique vision of reality and values
(Marien, 2006). Photos can be seen as self-expression of the artists. During the 20th century,
photography came to prove itself capable of transforming the culture from which it sprang and
was also a quintessential product of its era, this it creates a new controversy: deliberation versus
serendipity. For instance, photography documented the culture of the 1920s and world wars,
the Great Depression-era, and the liberation movement. Photos from different decades differ in
their techniques, representation, and images (Marien, 2006). The controversy is that
photography can be perceived as individual sensations, thus the entire patterns of perceptual
information have to be taken into account. They depend upon the relative attributes of the
objects of perception. For instance, the perception of war by world war photographers differs
greatly from modern journalists who pay attention to the sensation and emotions of soldiers
avoiding battlefield operations (Marien, 2006). Subjectivity and objectivity of photography
was reflected in the history of the 20th century with emphasis on the overall context of the
photographed object. The historical example of this is still frames and motion films, stereo and
‘flatties (Grivett, 2005). It is possible to say that the convergence of these procedures resulted
in the medium of photography which, though related to painting and drawing, amounts to an
entirely new representational system with its particular attributes (Newhall, 1982). From the
historical standpoint, during the nineteenth-century critics supposed that photography would,
through its intrinsic properties, have the power to change or influence people’s moral
standpoints and tastes. Following Frith, photography was interpreted as ‘the replication of
perfection’ (Newhall, 1982). Gravett states that: “It is possible to create the illusion of depth,..
with, stereo imaging, stereo-grams, and holograms” (Grivett, 2005).
The history suggests that photography is art reflecting personal values and perceptions of a
photographer. Many photographers, such as Thomas Annan (1868), compiled documentary
records of the slum districts (Newhall 1982). Thus, these photos are often perceived as art
playing the role of social criticism. The photographs did have the virtue of revealing the
camera’s potential to bring to a wider public evidence of social conditions and injustices. They
could have been seen as establishing the traditional approach of social documentary
(Rosenblum, 2007).
Conclusion
Photography has undergone dramatic stylistic and contextual changes over the past 30 years.
While some of these changes may be due to technical innovation, most innovations in approach
have been determined by the dynamics of photography operating in a changing society. Like
any other art, photography is a dynamic practice which is subject to change and innovation
over time. The dualistic controversies are based and caused by differences in perceptions,
technologies, and values of people.
Reflection of the material world
Hectically, photography has provided new visions which have enabled, for better or worse, the
transitions from the nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Science and technology, as well as
culture in general, demand representational systems to promote and facilitate change in
perception and interpretation of photography. The dualistic controversy can be found in
perception and reflection of the material world, in film and digital technologies. The
controversy is that “digital photographers can and will cheat” (Grivett, 2005). Researchers

greatly from modern journalists who pay attention to the sensation and emotions of soldiers
avoiding battlefield operations (Marien, 2006). Subjectivity and objectivity of photography
was reflected in the history of the 20th century with emphasis on the overall context of the
photographed object. The historical example of this is still frames and motion films, stereo and
‘flatties (Grivett, 2005). It is possible to say that the convergence of these procedures resulted
in the medium of photography which, though related to painting and drawing, amounts to an
entirely new representational system with its particular attributes (Newhall, 1982). From the
historical standpoint, during the nineteenth-century critics supposed that photography would,
through its intrinsic properties, have the power to change or influence people’s moral
standpoints and tastes. Following Frith, photography was interpreted as ‘the replication of
perfection’ (Newhall, 1982). Gravett states that: “It is possible to create the illusion of depth,..
with, stereo imaging, stereo-grams, and holograms” (Grivett, 2005).
The history suggests that photography is art reflecting personal values and perceptions of a
photographer. Many photographers, such as Thomas Annan (1868), compiled documentary
records of the slum districts (Newhall 1982). Thus, these photos are often perceived as art
playing the role of social criticism. The photographs did have the virtue of revealing the
camera’s potential to bring to a wider public evidence of social conditions and injustices. They
could have been seen as establishing the traditional approach of social documentary
(Rosenblum, 2007).
Conclusion
Photography has undergone dramatic stylistic and contextual changes over the past 30 years.
While some of these changes may be due to technical innovation, most innovations in approach
have been determined by the dynamics of photography operating in a changing society. Like
any other art, photography is a dynamic practice which is subject to change and innovation
over time. The dualistic controversies are based and caused by differences in perceptions,
technologies, and values of people.
Reflection of the material world
Hectically, photography has provided new visions which have enabled, for better or worse, the
transitions from the nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Science and technology, as well as
culture in general, demand representational systems to promote and facilitate change in
perception and interpretation of photography. The dualistic controversy can be found in
perception and reflection of the material world, in film and digital technologies. The
controversy is that “digital photographers can and will cheat” (Grivett, 2005). Researchers
underline that every historical period creates controversy proving the validity of the old
technology and diminishing the value of a new one. For instance, there were ‘a slides versus
prints controversy”, color versus black and whites prints but at the beginning of the 21st
century, we face print versus digital photos controversy. Despite these differences, through
photos, the artists communicate their views expressing a unique vision of reality and values
(Marien, 2006). Photos can be seen as self-expression of the artists. During the 20th century,
photography came to prove itself capable of transforming the culture from which it sprang and
was also a quintessential product of its era, this it creates a new controversy: deliberation versus
serendipity. For instance, photography documented the culture of the 1920s and world wars,
the Great Depression-era, and the liberation movement. Photos from different decades differ in
their techniques, representation, and images (Marien, 2006). The controversy is that
photography can be perceived as individual sensations, thus the entire patterns of perceptual
information have to be taken into account. They depend upon the relative attributes of the
objects of perception. For instance, the perception of war by world war photographers differs
greatly from modern journalists who pay attention to the sensation and emotions of soldiers
avoiding battlefield operations (Marien, 2006). Subjectivity and objectivity of photography
