The last meeting, My supervisor did tell me to focus on the reality of the photo. He said that if I did ask someone or use something to build my photo, It doesn't count on reality. After that, I did some research and found a book which is called " On Photography" written by Susan Sontag. In this Book, the author did carry out the problem of the relationship between reality and photography. Here's one of the paragraph in this book.
"Although there is a sense in which the camera does indeed capture reality, not just interpret it, photographs are as much an interpretation of the world as paintings and drawings are. Those occasions when the taking of photographs is relatively undiscriminating, promiscuous, or self-effacing do not lessen the didacticism of the whole enterprise. This very passivity -- and ubiquity -- of the photographic record is photography's "message," its aggression."
The author not just focus on the reality of the photo, she did ask a question: The message of the photo". She thinks the concept of how the producer taking the photo and why to use the photo as a production to send the meaning to the audiences. So that's mean I need to figure out what is the meaning of my production.
