In Understanding a Photograph, John Berger argues that photographs are not objective truths but selective representations shaped by context, intention, and interpretation. A photo freezes a moment yet cannot explain it, and its meaning shifts depending on how and where it is used—whether in a newspaper, gallery, or family album. Berger highlights photography’s ties to memory and loss, its role in reinforcing power and ideology, and the need for viewers to actively question the conditions of a photograph’s production and circulation rather than assuming it offers simple realism.
