Photography

By Bethany Eden-Hibbert

Portrait • Portrait Photography or portraiture is

photography of a person or group of people that displays the expression, personality, and mood of the subject. The focus of the photograph is usually the persons face although the entire body and context may be included.

• Here is an example of a portrait picture Richard Avedon has taken of Marilyn Monroe.

Portrait• I think that the picture taken of Marilyn caught my eye out of all

the other portrait pictures because she is many peoples idol and it catches the real person she was. Calm, beautiful and no care in the world was given about peoples opinions.

• Here is my own example of Portrait photography.

• I was trying to achieve a picture of a person

around college and show that this is a form of a portrait photography as it shows the face of the person.

• Over the years the first cameras captured light by opening a slide and letting light to strike a plate which had film on it. Since then pictures can now be stored and transmitted digitally.

Landscape• Landscape Photography shows spaces within the world,

sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic. This type of photography focuses more on nature but can also focus on man-made features or disturbances of landscapes.

I like this particular photograph of landscape because it shows an image you would probably never see yourself. This photo shows you something rare and amazing.

Landscape

• Here is my Landscape example.

• Here is was trying to capture a landscape picture. This picture shows us the outside and a perfect example of nature to. I wanted to capture the trees because the outside is mainly what landscape focuses on.

• Over the years Landscape photography has changed. One main reason is because of the technology used to capture the image for example the cameras are more improved and still improving to this day. Another reason is because effects on computers helps make the picture more better and the quality is good that’s why some pictures look fake.

Nature• Nature photography refers to a wide range of photography taken

outdoors and devoted to displaying natural elements such as landscapes, wildlife, plants and close-ups of natural scenes and textures.

• This is taken by Ansel Adams.

• I like this photo of nature because it shows something you would never see and it shows us a picture no one else would have similar to. It is a volcanic eruption and it shows the ask forming into clouds above which is actually a very beautiful scene.

Nature

• Here is my Nature photography. It shows us a picture of flowers which have naturally grown and are outside in the fresh air.

• Over the years nature has become more beautiful. There are more flowers and different landscapes no one else has captured. It shows us what is around us almost every day in our life's just makes it look a lot more better in a picture. They have done this because the cameras and computers have updated over the years and the quality of the picture shows everything in more detail making it more eye-catching.

Fine Art• Fine art photography is defined as a picture that is taken with a

creative vision by the photographer who is an artist. Fine Art pictures are mainly Black and White.

• This was taken by Mark Rothko.

• I like this photo because it shows a side of geography. It shows us the sea, seaside and rocks which are included in geography. It mainly caught my eye because it is a black and white picture and the effects added to make it look dark and effective.

Fine Art• Here I have tried to capture a good picture representing fine art. I

have done this by showing nature and showing something around college that not many people would see. It is of plants and I liked it because it looks like a dark and horrible place but it has the sort of Caribbean side with the trees and plants.

• Now a days photographers try and capture a different way of fine art. By showing us different landscapes and nature. Just like all the other types of photography it has also changed because of the quality of cameras and computers.

Fashion• Fashion photography is a genre of photography

devoted to displaying clothing and other fashion items. Fashion photography is most often conducted for advertisements or fashion magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, or Elle.

• Felix Lammers photograph

• I liked this photo because it’s a very different fashion photo. It mainly attracts the audience because it has a pretty girl modeling and it is all wintery and cold and many people like the winter season. Fashion is a little bit different to other genres of photography because they are trying to sell a certain part of the picture.

Fashion• Here I have tried to capture a piece

of fashion photography. I choose this because you can see a mannequin with a necklace which is the main product. This is a very simple and plain photo yet people will look at it for a certain amount of time to check the product out and see whether they like it or not.

• Fashion itself has changed over the years from long Victorian dresses to short little black dresses. No matter what their will always be a new fashion item come out that many people crave to get. To make the product look a lot more better then in real life many pictures are taken by great quality cameras and edited to perfection. This can look like false advertising.

Advertising• Commercial photography is probably

best defined as any photography for which the photographer is paid for images rather than works of art. In this light, money could be paid for the subject of the photograph or the photograph itself.

• Taken by David Bellocchio

• I liked this photo because it is very simple and it shows the product straight away. You can see there is sushi being advertised and the photographer has made that the main part of the picture… Dead in the middle.

Advertising• I wanted to capture this photo as

part of advertising because it clearly is advertising smoothies. I captured the background of the café to show it is a food room. I have also caught the main part which is selling the main product.

• Over the years advertising has changed. It used to be “laid back” years ago especially selling cigarettes. They use to tell you how smoking them would help you loose weight but these days it is illegal to sell them because it isn't a good things and it was dragging young people down with them. These days photographers have become so good at advertising the the product almost looks fake because of how different it looks in real life. This is because of computers and cameras.
