1. PHOTOGRAPHY
By
Chris Lowman

2. PORTRAIT
 Portrait photography or portraiture is photography of a
person or group of people that displays the expression,
personality, and mood of the subject. Like other types of
portraiture, the focus of the photograph is usually the person's
face, although the entire body and the background or context
may be included.

3. PORTRAIT
Portrait photographs have
been made since virtually
the invention of the
camera. When portrait
photographs are
composed and captured in
studio. Subjects were
generally seated against a
plain background and lit
with the soft light of an
overhead window or
whatever else could be
reflected by mirrors.

4. LANDSCAPE
 Landscape photography shows spaces within the world,
sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic.
Landscape photographs typically capture the presence of
nature but can also focus on man-made features or
disturbances of landscapes.

5. LANDSCAPE
 Many landscape photographers shows little or no human activity
and are created in the pursuit of a pure, unsullied depiction of nature.
As with most forms of art, the definition of a landscape photograph
is board and many include urban setting, industrial areas and nature
photography.

6. 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. Nature photography tends to put a stronger emphasis on the
aesthetic value of the photo than other photography genres, such as
photojournalism and documentary photography.

the bird to be majestic and powerful

8. FINE ART
 Fine art photography is photography created in accordance with
the vision of the artist as the photographer. It stands in contrast to
representational photography.

9. FINE ART
• The basic idea behind the genre, is that instead of merely
capturing a realistic rendition of the subject, the
photographer is aiming to produce a more personal - typically
more evocative or atmospheric - impression.
• One might simplify this, by saying that fine art
photography describes any image taken by a camera
where the intention is aesthetic (that is, a photo whose
value lies primarily in its beauty - see, Aesthetics) rather
than scientific (photos with scientific value),
commercial (product photos), or journalistic (photos
with news or illustrative value).

10. 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. Over time, fashion photography has
developed its own aesthetic in which the clothes and fashions are
enhanced by the presence of exotic locations or accessories.

11. FASHION
Fashion photography has been in existence since the earliest
days of photography. In 1856, Adolphe Braun published a
book containing 288 photographs of Virginia Oldoini,
Countess di Castiglione, a Tuscan noblewoman at the court
of Napoleon III. The photos depict her in her official court
garb, making her the first fashion model.

12. 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.
Businesses may want to use commercial photography to promote
themselves, or particular aspects of their work. There is a
difference between commercial photography, which is often
performed in a studio or isolated environment, and industrial
photography, which often takes place on the site or factory floor.
Most commercial photography professionals will not take on an
industrial photographic shoot. A common method of promoting
businesses is through architectural and building photography,
where the business can be seen as a product.

13. ADVERTISING
Using commercial photographs is especially beneficial
for selling products, and the photos may focus on the
aesthetics of an item or its use. Business promotion
also relies heavily on commercial photography to
produce billboards, flyers, pamphlets or other items
meant for the purpose of conveying information to
potential clients or customers. It is common for
commercial photography to overlap with another
form of photography. For example, pictures taken for
clothing catalogs or websites fall under both the
commercial and fashion photography umbrellas.
