Photographs have tremendous power to communicate information. But they also have tremendous power to communicate misinformation, especially if we’re not careful how we read them. Reading photographs presents a unique set of challenges. Students can learn to use questions to decode, evaluate, and respond to photographic images.

The photograph of a crowd of jubilant Iraqis toppling the statue of Saddam Hussein in Baghdad on April 9, 2003, is one of the most common images of the recent war in Iraq. A closeup shot shows a crowd of primarily Iraqis toppling the statue. A wide shot of the same scene would have revealed that the crowd in the square was made up of primarily US forces and journalists.

One type of photography in which setting is very important is travel photography.

Using landmarks, monuments, or famous natural elements in a photograph is a core technique for evoking a sense of place.

Cancel
The photographer selects the focal point not only by focusing the camera but also through other techniques.
...

Cancel
shutter speed to bring only one element into focus immediately elevates that to the most important part of the image.
...

Cancel
one element in the photograph is strongly backlit, it may seem to glow and thus draw the viewer’s attention.

information about the people, events, setting, and so on are made explicit by the photographer — there are distinct visual clues that tell us who the people are, what they are doing, and where and when the photograph was taken.

...

Cancel
Just as successful written communication requires that the writer and reader speak the same language, successful visual communication requires that the photographer and viewer share a common "visual language" of signs, clues, and assumptions.

Cancel
Were your assumptions correct? Can you always trust your first instinct? (And even having read the caption, how much do we really know about these girls and their lives?)

Cancel
a different culture might ask why this round brown object is
...

Cancel
we have to be careful that we have enough cultural background in common with the photographer to correctly interpret what we see.
...

Cancel
The photograph by itself tells us very little about what’s going on; we probably could have invented any number of captions, and you’d have believed us!

Replacing written text with artwork, photographs, or illustrations offers a number of advantages, especially early in the school year.  Visual imagery is very accessible and a lot less intimidating to a wide range of learners including non-readers, struggling readers, and English language learners. This enables these students a greater chance to practice some of the forms of complex thinking that they will need as the year progresses such as using text evidence, identifying theme, and making connections.
...

Cancel
Another advantage the visual imagery has over written text is that it is very fast to decode.
...

Cancel
Artworks can and should be treated just as a written text. By doing so, students can get their academic thinking started early, laying a foundation for them to build on throughout their school year.
