Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the photography and the icon, especially the ontological aspects that are related to the phenomenon of time and eternity. Photo shot, for his distinctly historical character, is an indicator of the witness’s death as a product of the material and the ephemeral. On the other hand, the icon witnesses the attempt to overcome the historical, pointing to a bright future. The icon is based on the photographic, portrait and historical, but below indicates something beyond. At the end, the paper analyzes the similarities both photograph and the icon, that finds its source in their reproductive character and needs repetition.
