Abstract

This article seeks to put into dialogue the reflection that Edward Goyeneche makes in his book Photography and society on studio photography, with a historiography of street photography or photo theater, not only as a visual process in itself, but also as a intentional mental phenomenon towards a specific act and practice, with the purpose of understanding the social uses that photography was given by studio photographers and fotocineros, from the social positions and situations that these agents and their agency circumvented within the aesthetic character of social differentiation, while their habits and practices developed between the rise and fall of studio photography and the democratization of street photography. Studio and street photographers have become a research model for visual culture since they have contributed to the construction of the visual regime of modernity, achieving the systematization of the gaze within an ethical statute of the photographic image. immersed in a specific social context.
