Photography is an art that after its invention, important developments took place in the field of different arts including painting, architecture and literature. Photography, by showing the details of the environment around people as accurately as possible, and documenting and recording moments and events, served well in art works, including literature. The facilities available in photography that were reflected in the lives of the people of the society, this issue was quickly noticed by prominent writers in the field of literature all over the world, and thus photos were involved in the course of important literary stories and They set a new platform for paying attention to the situation and characters of literary works. With the continuation of the presence of photographs and the photographic method in the field of literary texts and a fusion between these two artistic fields, works were created with a novel view of the various concepts in human life in this field and This issue made the audience closer to these two fields. In this research, we tried to pay attention to the description and analysis of the presence of photography in the field of literature, and from this point of view, analyze the work "In Search of Lost Time" by Marcel Proust. We tried to examine the photographic method that this author chose to express his story based on the opinions of literary and artistic thinkers such as Roland Barthes and Georges Poulet.. How the presence of photographs and photography features in this author's narrative has played a role in characterizing and overcoming the time course of the story and the way the scenes are presented and the expression of important concepts in the process of the story and how this French writer has used the features of this 19th century invention that originated from his country to represent what he has in mind.
