Abstract

This essay proposes the comprehension of mechanisms that act in the right moment when the picture is taken; the profile is the analysis of photographic images from Japanese immigrants in the development of the photographs in Londrina City – state of Paraná, between 1930 and 1960. It aims to analyze the photographs and verify which of the three conditioning synecdoche factors acted on the Japanese photographers in the photo capture. The factors are: 1st Conditioning Synecdoche Factor – Grammar Literacy (the image elements are unconsciously framed by the initial direction of the individual language literacy, or from the left to the right or from the right to the left). 2nd Conditioning Synecdoche Factor – Kodak Manual (the image elements are unconsciously framed on the center of the frame by paradigm and also by a technical limitation imposition from the time, that conducted centering the main object to preserve a secure register of the event, once there was a risk of burning the images edge). 3rd Conditioning Synecdoche Factor – Technology + Rule of Thirds (the image elements are consciously framed in any part of the frame since it’s possible to fulfill the edges of the frame by technology, added to the options of positioning the objects in the golden ratio spots, revealing a graphic pattern tuned with the aesthetic harmony).
