Through a comparative analysis of teenagers' portraits from the photographic work of Laura Henno and Rineke Dijkstra, the purpose of this article is to seize the seminal conditions of photographic presence and its sensitive supplement which is not only "happened" or "captured" by photographer, but generated by its presence. This article describes the regulation and the strategic accommodation between different semiotics by referring to an episemiotic dimension to qualify the intercorporeal interaction regime of each involved instance.
