2. Macro is photography at an extremely
close range to the subject. Usually the
subject in macro photographs are
insects, plants or some kind of small
object like a water droplet. Macro
photography is used in many areas, Marco
photography doesn’t only extend to
photographers, scientist or biology
students can use macro to see small
subjects that the naked eye can’t see
other than using a microscope. Even
forensics photographers use macro to
produce life-size evidence to use in the
courtroom.

3. The depth of field in photography
is the distance between the
nearest object and the furthest
object and the focus of those
objects. In the picture on the
left, the ladybug is completely
visible and has extreme detail
and sharpness but the
background is fuzzed out, but
because of this effect it makes
the ladybug stand out more.
4. Photographs of landscapes are taken
to show the different spaces in the
world and to capture the beauty of
the moment and preserve it.
Landscape photographs are usually
of nature, landmarks, ambient lights
and weather but has little or no
human presence within the shot.
Sometimes, landscape photographs
are used as reference in the film
industry to show how the area looks
like and whether they should film
there or not.

5. Fashion photography has been
around since 183 and has
evolved wildly since then. The
idea of fashion photography
was created to make the
clothes and model look good
and help sell the clothes.
Though nowadays, fashion
photography isn’t as natural as
it was before then it is now. It has now become more of an art and picture
look more strange and exaggerated. The models look like walking pieces of
artwork and feature the not so healthy looking model.
But since the introduction of editing software's and modernization, the wacky
clothes and has defined body lines have become more acceptable then it was
before when showing too much skin would be not as appealing then it is now.
6. Vogue 1960
Vogue 2012
Comparing these two pictures you can see that there is a clear difference in
style, colour and quality. The 2012 cover has more definition and clearness than
the 1960 cover. Also the style the clothes are worn are different as well. The
model on the left doesn’t show as much skin than the model on the right, which
has cleavage, which is now more socially acceptable then it was back then.
7. Advertising photography is when
photographs are used to illustrate
a product or idea to either promote
or sell them. Advertising
photography is used in many
areas of photography such as
glamour, food, still life and
advertising/marketing itself. a
Advertising companies also want
people to look in deeper into the
advert and find out more about the
ads content.
Adverts sometimes have
subliminal messaging in order to
subconsciously make you do
certain things, there have been
some cases and test to see if it
actually works and many test have
come out favorably.
8. Portrait photography is the 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 person's face, although the entire body and
the background may be included. There are two types of portrait
photography; formal and informal. Formal being a picture for an ID card
and informal would be social or a school photo.
9. Formal
Informal
The difference between a formal and informal are quite clear. A formal
photo usually has the person’s face in the middle and only shows from
the shoulder blades (not necessarily every photo) and up, whereas the
informal photo has freedom movement and doesn’t limit where
someone's body position is.
10. Photojournalism is a combination of
photography and journalism. The photos
are used to represent or illustrate a news
story.
The are three types of Photojournalism:
Timeliness — the images have meaning
in the context of a recently published
record of events.
Objectivity — the situation implied by the
images is a fair and accurate
representation of the events they depict in
both content and tone.
Narrative — the images combine with
other news elements to make facts
relatable to the viewer or reader on a
cultural level.
Photojournalist have to abide by many
legal and ethical considerations went out
on the field e.g. taking a photo and then
distorting it to create a uproar in society.
11. Photojournalism has changed over the years and
the agencies that use it have been losing the
trust of the people over the years. In the past
before editing software’s, photos that were taken
were real and told a story, with near to zero
potential of misunderstanding and dis-trust. But
with the introduction of Photoshop and the
evolving mind of what is considered
important, photos have lose their reliability and
suspicions of photos being fake a higher than
ever.
