This paper analyzes the intricate relations between realism, agency, and control in photographic representation and the spaces of photographic production, texts, and exhibition in the history of photography. In the prevalent practice of staged photography in the art production, the level of the photographer’s involvement, especially in the production of a specific mise-en-scène and/or postproduction process of editing, increases the degree of agency of the photographer. Accordingly, the spaces of photographic production and exhibition as well as spatial and contextual features of photographic images gain new prominence to the extent that these spaces largely open themselves to the design ideas and the control of the photographer. Focusing on the mise-en-scène of the photographic work of Gregory Crewdson, Jeff Wall and Thomas Struth, the study explores the role of the spatial and contextual details of these artists’ photographs in the production of meaning in photography through significant theories about photography.
