Barthes shares his passionate, in-depth knowledge and understanding of photography.
Examining the themes of presence and absence, the relationship between photography and theatre, history and death, these 'reflections on photography' begin as an investigation into the nature of photographs. Then, as Barthes contemplates a photograph of his mother as a child, the book becomes an exposition of his own mind.

An in depth look at the morality of photography as a medium, that becomes a series of self reflections on the effect of different photos. Barthes draws on an extensive shot list to paint the full picture of tone, construction, and the very essence of what makes a photo great.
