The concept of trying to analyze an image in every conceivable way through both symbols and your own constrained perception and personal set of experiential goggles is an interesting goal of semiotics. In a way, this method is the only way to really attempt to categorize and understand media as a science rather than simply an opinion.
Similarly, it is something important to consider when attempting cross-cultural studies as well. To be aware of your own biases and the way in which you've been influenced is the best a person can do in regards to trying to remain unbiased.
In truth, it's impossible to be unbiased. Every human being has their own perception. To apply the ideas of semiotics to try and interpret meaning in as complete a way as possible is a good start, though.
