The production of photographic images is intense today and their poetic characteristics – like photogeny, for instance – become a permanent debate. Connections between the concepts of photogeny and aura expand boundaries and widen the analytical range of this subject. According to Walter Benjamin, aura as an element which declines due to the technical reproducibility starting in the XIXth century; except specific works offering a poetic approach, despite their reproducibility. Edgar Morin defines photogeny as the poetic quality of beings and things intensified in the image. These assumptions may be evaluated especially in settings of the modern metropolis and in virtual structures and digital cultural environments overlapping and merging with the physical metropolis. The reflection on the contemporary flâneur is emphasized at the intersection between modern metropolis and cybercity. These new characters and environments require a relational approach regarding concepts such as objectivity and subjectivity, documental and fictional, also emerging as criteria for the reception of photographic images. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the interaction present in the relation between production, product and reception using photoessays which I made: a) Impactos da Copa 2014: Favela Vila da Paz e arredores (FVP); of a documental nature; b) Cidade dos Crocodilos: incertezas e estranhamentos (CC), of a fictional nature. São Paulo (Itaquera) and New York, the two metropolises where the essays were made are shown from the perspective of their dynamics of construction and reconstruction. The photographer and the receptors chosen for this study were also part of the metropolises. The theoretical foundation used to carry it out and analyze the results is found in the mediation theory developed particularly by J. Martín Barbero and Guillermo Orozco G.; and in the study on the reception of soap operas by M. Immacolata V. Lopes, Silvia H. S. Borelli and Vera Rezende. The mediation of situational and demographic references and photographic narrativity allowed thinking on the connections and cultural matrices underlying the interaction receptor/product/producer. By using the mediation perspective, the present study assumes that the photographic narrativity is based not only on elements resulting from the media, the interviewees’ cultural background but also based on a material related to the poetic aspect, aura and photogeny of images
