Item Restricted Street Photography : the Role of Symbolism in Conveying a Visual Narrative(2023) Lia Tarakji; Goodwin, Amara; Rieß, Henrik; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: Street photography, a genre with broad definitions and multifaceted expressions, serves as a rich medium for exploring the nuanced interactions between viewer, photographer, and the urban landscape. This thesis endeavors to unravel the layers of perception, interpretation, and symbolic resonance embodied in street photography, scrutinizing the ways in which the viewer engages with the imagery and how the photographer's choices shape the narrative and symbolic reference of the images. Through a qualitative content analysis methodology, the research navigates the historical trajectory of street photography, spotlighting key figures whose pioneering approaches have significantly molded this genre. Delving into photographic theories, semiotics, and comparative analyses, the study meticulously examines the symbolic dimensions of street photography, endeavoring to bridge theoretical insights with a comprehensive understanding of the genre. The exploration extends to an extensive examination of imagery, anchoring the analysis within a rich visual context and paving the way for the delineation of the scope of a design project that resonates with the complexities and symbolic richness of street photography.
