Abstract

The present work analyzes a particular kind of photographs considered by Jean-Marie Floch to be obliquitous images. The specific interest in this kind of photography is justified by the fact that it veils modes of capturing meanings based on seeing and feeling, under the appearance of an overt representation of everyday scenes. The examination of three selected pictures indicates representations of the look that are constituted as proposals of optical trajectories to be constructed by the viewer rather than reproductions of a fixed reality.

Key words: photography, meaning, interaction.
