photographic codes
On one occasion, Barthes asserted that a photograph is 'a message without a code'. However, even though photographs are indexical (as well as iconic) photography involves a translation from three dimensions into two, as well as many variable representational practices. Consequently, some semioticians refer to 'reading photographs'.
