The Spoken Image by Clive Scott
Considers the nature of photography, examining the language used in titles, captions and commentaries, particularly as they relate to documentary photography, photojournalism and fashion photography. This book addresses the question of how the photograph communicates its message, with or without the aid of language.
'In this excellent study, Scott argues that while language is deemed crucial to the interpretation of photography, we have insufficient information about how language is used in relation to various photographic genres.. Readers interested in photography, film, postmodernism, and the nature of narrative itself will find Scott's book captivating, and, at times, positively breathtaking.' - British Journal of Aesthetics 'The Spoken Image displays its author's deep knowledge of a wide range of literature on meaning and photography, and the book is well produced and illustrated.' - Times Higher Education
