While Walter Benjamin did not publish a book specifically titled On Photography, his critical insights into photography are interwoven throughout several of his major essays, most notably in “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.” In these writings, Benjamin explores the profound transformation of art through the advent of photography and film, focusing on how mechanical reproduction changes the function, perception, and social role of visual media. He introduces the concept of the “aura,” describing the unique presence and authenticity of a work of art that is diminished through reproduction.
