Abstract

This paper goes through photographic images, identifying in these images the diversified ways of perceiving and understanding their content and meaning. It also promotes a reflection about the revolutions photography promoted since its origin and discusses, through an analysis of semiotic nature, how C. S. Peirce’s categories of firstness, secondness and thirdness offer solid clues in order to determine what an image projects beyond what is seen.
