PTE Reading MC Multiple Answers
Read the passage and answer the question by selecting all correct responses from the options below.
When we look at a colour photograph … we have moved … away from … the object’s intrinsic reality, imposing several extra levels of interpretation. The particular chemical composition of the photographic process USD is one level; the colour film (or digital camera) itself automatically reacts to and records colour in the way it has been chemically or electronically profiled or programmed, to do. Then there is the subjectivity of the color creativity of the photographer, their eye behind the camera. Photographers have to experiment with what is available and discern a way of representing colour that suits their particular visual aesthetic. Then the viewer imposes yet another level of interpretation, bringing his or her colour appreciation to the existing photographs. If photographs are printed, copied, scanned, viewed on a screen, or reproduced on the pages of a book as here, then we are several generations and several future levels of interpretation away from that original colour reflecting object. Is it any wonder that colour photography behaviorally difficult to describe accurately – and that reactions to it are so diverse – given its wonderful subjective variations?
