Abstract
Objectivity in press photography is defined in terms of its relationship to the reality it represents. There is a basic concept of objectivity (the photograph is taken directly from reality, place or event, which represents) and an abstract concept of objectivity (the meaning of photography coincides with the reality it represents) These concepts give rise objectivity four types of relationships: The image has a direct relationship with the object and the message coincides with the reality of it; The image has a direct relationship with the object, but the message conveyed does not match the reality of it; The picture has no direct relationship with the object, but the message conveyed match reality of it (stock photo); The picture is not related to the object or message coincides with reality (stock photo)Downloads
