The aim of this research is to analyze photography as a source and/or object of research in the press in Mozambique. Based on the theoretical perspective of historical-dialectical materialism, based on Marx and Engels, to approach photography allows us, to highlight from photography the contradictions in the way of life in Mozambican society and, and also through research, to present the contrasting reality present in the expressed discourses of subjects with power, holders of capital and means of production in society, in the face of underlying interests. For this purpose, a bibliographic survey about scientific production of Mozambican authors around the subject was carried out and also the analysis of the Tempo magazine from Mozambique, was capitalized. It is concluded that photography opens infinite possibilities of interpretation and understanding of reality from the press as a source and/or object of research, portraying factually and challenging or not the darkness of minds and opening consciousness to a reality that is sometimes naked, raw and contradictory in social relations where conflicting interests or not are revealed in it in the face of social reality, especially in the field of education.
