From the conception of photographic art as a visual text, which narrates, informs and promotes interactions, this article aims to reflect on the potential of photography as an illustrative tool. Thus, it is understood that a literary work illustrated from photographic images allows the expansion of interpretative and dialogical limits between the reader and the work.
