SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY 1
Sports Photography is a branch of photojournalism, it consists
of pictures being taken of a live event for example football,
tennis, rugby etc. the pictures being taken are mostly for
newspapers, sports magazines or agencies. The cameras used in
sports photography are usually very high tech e.g. very long
distance lenses, high shutter speeds in order to capture Something
speeding by in high quality for example a car or a plane. The main
aim of sports photography is to either promote the sport being
captured or simply used as a source of information. One sports
photographer is Bob Martin who is an award winning sports
photographer known for his action and features shoots globally. An
obvious change in this type of Photography is the ability to now be
able to capture the sport being captured more attractive and
interesting.
ADVERTISING2
Advertising photography involves taking pictures for commercial
use: for example in adverts, merchandising, and product placement.
Commercial photography is also used in corporate brochures and
leaflets, menus in cafes and restaurants, and similar commercial
uses where photographs enhance a text. It is commonly and obviously
used in adverts it can also appear in magazines, newspapers,
leaflets and brochures. One advertising photographer is Jonathan
Knowles who is again famous for his work which consists of taking
pictures of people, many different types of drinks and generally
beauty. Again this has changed over time for the same reasons as
the sports photography because they both have had a huge change in
picture quality and of course the ability to capture in color which
can make the product being advertised more vibrant, colorful and
attractive for the consumer compared to just a black and white
picture.
PORTRAIT 3
Portrait photography is where the photographer just takes a
picture of either a person or a family from a straight on position,
it displays the expression, personality, and mood of the subject.
Usually used at either the home of the person being captured in the
picture or in a studio with white walls all around for a more
vibrant picture of the person being captured. Darrin Clinton is one
of the many portrait photographers who takes the pictures you want
in the comfort of your own home. Portrait photography has changed
in many ways one of the main changes is the stance or behavior of
the person in the shot as many years ago the person being captured
would stand completely face on and up straight with no facial
expressions whereas
FASHION 4
Fashion Photography is used to promote different types of
clothing in the attempt to sell it to the public meaning the
pictures need to be attractive for the consumer which is why they
are usually colorful and a model is used for the attractiveness for
men and women. It is used mostly in studios and photo booths where
they can get the best quality picture in the best color as the
background would be a clear plain color to help the product stand
out for the customer. This type of photography has changed over
time again because of the advance in technology as in the past the
photos would just be black and white meaning the clothes may not
have come across as attractive to the customer. A famous example of
a photographer involved with this work would be Adolphe Braun who
published his own book containing many of his photos (288 to be
precise)
FOOD 5
Food Photography is similar to fashion photography in terms of
it is used to sell the product being captured so it needs to be
attractive, colorful and generally makes you want to buy it so its
again very important that the picture is good quality and
endearing. It is used in restaurants to sell the food to the
customers buying so the product must be prepared in order to sell
it which usually means that the actual product doesnt live up to
the expectations built up by the photo. And again similar to
fashion photography it has changed over time due to technology used
to take the photo as in the past no color was introduced in the
photos meaning the product was less attractive. Marcus Nilsson is
an example of a famous photographer, his work consists of taking
pictures at a Strikingly Original angle.
LANDSCAPE 6
Landscape Photography consists of simply just capturing miles
of land from a standing point by looking down from a raised view at
the landscape, another definition for landscape is the orientation
of the photo being taken landscape being the Horizontally turned
picture instead of portrait which is vertical. It is used outdoors
mostly looking down at a wide stretch of land from a higher point
in order to get the targeted piece of land in the frame. This has
changed over time as the cameras in the modern day can zoom much
further than the old camera used where capable of meaning a longer
range of landscape is viewed in the shot. A good example of a
landscape is Charlie Waite who has travelled all over the world in
order to get the best landscape images.
