<![CDATA[Problematics and Representational Strategies in the Creation of Contemporary Photographic Works. This study aims to examine the diverse strategies of representation in contemporary photographic works over the past six years. Using a systematic literature review based on national journal database searches, with inclusion criteria focused on the publication period from 2019 to 2025 and thematic relevance to creative strategies, the selection was narrowed to eight articles. This study explores representational strategies from conceptual, experimental, and semiotic perspectives. The topics cover contemporary issues such as the representation of local communities, daily activities in editorial fashion photography, expression through scanography, the impact of sexual violence, the distortion of romantic memory, body shaming through silhouette techniques, children's rights violations in armed conflict, and the body as an object of social critique. The findings indicate that representational strategies in photography are diverse and innovative, yet not free from problematics such as message ambiguity and potential interpretive bias. As a contribution, this research formulates an ideal representational strategy that integrates theoretical foundations, contextual visual technique selection, supporting narratives, and participatory subject involvement. These strategies are expected to strengthen the clarity of visual messages while maintaining aesthetic and ethical values in the creation of contemporary photographic works.]]>
