‘Every image embodies a way of seeing. Even
a photograph. For photographs are not, as is
often assumed, a mechanical record. Every
time we look at a photograph, we are aware,
however slightly, of the photographer
selecting that sight from an infinity of other
possible sights.
The photographer’s way of seeing is reflected
in his choice of subject.’
John Berger

What impact does photography- which literally
means writing with light- have on our ways of
seeing, experiencing, and making sense of
experience?
How do we use photographs?
What can photographs reveal that would
otherwise be imperceptible?
![Page 4: The Language of Photography - sightlines-initiative.com · their community.” Julian Germain, Patricia Azevedo, Murilo Godoy, from the introduction of „No Mundo Maravilhoso do](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081405/5f0768407e708231d41cd4d6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Democratic Camera
‘Photography is a deceptively simple medium. Pressing the
shutter is so easy, yet the moment that is recorded is very likely
to reveal a quantity of information that would take hundreds of
words to accurately describe.
At the same time there will almost certainly be a mountain of
information that the image does not reveal. Photographs may
clarify things but they can also be ambiguous, mysterious, or
downright confusing. An ordinary everyday moment can be
(unintentionally) transformed into something that seems
magical- the reverse can also happen. A photo is very complex.’

Eggleston’s pictures preclude a quick and
unambiguous interpretation owing to their strange or
unfamiliar perspective, the detail chosen, the control
of colour: each picture evokes, opens up, different
associations for every observer.’

„A photograph gives you everything all at once, but takes time to
unravel. It contains more than what’s there in the sheen of the
paper, in the chemicals and grain of the printed surface.’

Children as photographers

“Photography, stripped down to it‟s essentials, is actually a simple and generous
medium. The act of pressing the shutter is so easy, yet the fleeting moment that is
recorded on film may provide endless fascination and be a beautiful, complex and
emotive social document. The idea therefore, was to equip favela children with cheap
„point and shoot‟ cameras with flash and colour film, and to encourage them to use
photography to express their feelings and explore the relationship between football and
their community.” Julian Germain, Patricia Azevedo, Murilo Godoy, from the introduction
of „No Mundo Maravilhoso do Futebol‟, Basalt publishers, 1998.
“In the beginning there was nothing, not a stone or a tree. Dinosaurs were everywhere.
There was only one little house, far in the distance; Eve and Adam‟s. They made a bomb
and destroyed all the dinosaurs. Then Adam and Eve made us and sent us to live here
in Cascalho. Then came chickens, dogs, birds, horses, cats, pigs, rabbits, goats, rats,
cockroaches and many more people...”
From, „The History of Cascalho‟, a collective text by the children of Cascalho, „No Mundo
Maravilhoso do Futebol‟, Basalt publishers, 1998.

„Children often use cameras in a very exciting way-
unrestricted by conventional notions of what makes a good
picture they are so direct, curious and unpretentious that I
often find myself liking their pictures more than my own.’

Pictures in the ‘snapshot style’ …… have an apparent disorder
and imperfection, which is exactly their appeal and style. The
picture isn’t straight. It isn’t done well. It isn’t composed. It isn’t
thought out. And out of this imbalance, and out of this not
knowing, and out of this real innocence towards the medium
comes an enormous vitality and expression of life.’

Becoming interested in birds…..
During spring term , the children have become
interested in birds.
Their play area is full of mature trees, with nest boxes,
and looking for nesting birds becomes a fascination.
The adults support this by offering the children the tools
they need to investigate. They have binoculars, a bird
hide, opportunities to watch and listen for birds.
And they make time to talk about birds.
The children already know a lot, and have their own
theories and ideas about birds.

birds.’
