This explains how we communicate through photography, why we want to communicate, and what we want to communicate. A photographer will take a photograph in a particular way or of a particular subject, in order to convey a certain message through organised codes or signs. The viewer will perceive and respond to these in their own individual way.
Structuralism and binary oppositions and divides show how certain characteristics can be put together in an image to form a reaction. For example, black vs. white, old vs. new, nature vs. culture.
One of my favourite artists, and an example of this is Eikoh Hosoe.(Images below)
