Photography and Psychoanalysis Quotes

“photography is also multiply concerned with projection — the projection of images onto the retina; the projection of the photographer’s ideas and thoughts onto and into  images, and our unique interpretation of each particular photograph we see, coloured by our own personal histories our conscious memories and all the unconscious fantasies that we have little access to, except via, parapraxes, slips of the tongue, or own analyses… but particularly via dreams, what Freud called “The Royal Road to the unconscious” .”
― Stephen Bray, Photography and Psychoanalysis:: The Development of Emotional Persuasion in Image Making.
