Styles of photography 

i have been tasked to give 4 different styles of photography with example pictures and references to two different photographers. 

Landscape

landscape photography is where you take a picture of world structures and man made structures as well. landscape photography is my second favourite kind of photography and can be interpreted in many different ways by many different people like Galen Rowell and Alex Boyd.

here are some examples of landscape photography that i have taken

  Portrait
portrait photography is where you take a picture of  someone (preferably their head and shoulders) and is usually done in the studio. portrait photography is good for showing emotions on their face. their are many different ways to interpret portrait photography like Angus Thomas. Angus Thomas has done lots of work over the years and his work has revolved around portrait photography. Here is and example of portrait photography that I have done

Still life
Still life photography is where you take a picture of something inanimate and create an effect with the image depending on the angle and the objects in place. still life photography is a good way to get advertising for a product around. still life photographers are very skilled such as Jonathan Knowles. sometimes with still life you can shape the object to your needs or you can make do with what you have. here is my example of still life

Fashion
fashion photography is very popular and is where a photo is taken of a model wearing specific clothing. this along with the photo editing lets the viewer of the image see the colour and texture of the the clothing placed on them. the photo editing is mainly done in Photoshop. here is my example of a fashion magazine cover 

Light painting

In this exercise we were tasked with a photographic technique called light painting. Light painting is where the camera shutter stays open for a longer period of time (5-30 seconds) and lets light in.  

Light painting is done in dark areas so that the photo sensor can sense the light, capture it and put it on the frame. With light painting you can draw anything so this makes it a new art form. Here are some professional examples and then my examples of light painting. 

My examples 

 Professional examples 

these photos have been taken in a dark room and/or dim lit outdoors. For more creative light paintings dim lit outdoors is probably best because you can see the person as well as the light creation
