ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book explores the mutually constitutive relations between photography and imagination with regard to multiple subjects and contexts, express this shift in position. It focuses on how photographs affect reality when the things appearing in a photograph are encountered in life. The book examines a politicized context of the present exemplifies the way the uses of photography entwined with fantasy or imagination can yield opposite effects on different audiences based on the categories, assumptions, and expectations of the audience’s experience. Taking a step back in order to try to deduce several observations from a more general point of view, first, the relationship between photography and reality as a process that involves an image. Historically, images have been part of human life since before photography was invented; they precede photography, they mediate the process of photography, and transcend photography.
