Learning Guide | Photography & Text
These photographs typify various relationships of photo and text. In some instances, the text and photo are side by side, and in others, they are together within the borders of the image. Of the latter, some feature “found text”—words and phrases that already existed in the environment—while others include text that was added to the photograph.
