Types of Photography

Portrait Photography

This photo has been taken by Brett Harkness a man who specializes in wedding photography but also spends his time working on other sectors of photography such as family portraits and fashion. The reason as to why i have chosen this photo as my portrait photo is because i feel as if the man behind the photo has mixed emotions. One of the ways i look at it as is giving up temptation. Another way i look at it is the man is going through frustration. I also like the use of black and white in the photo, this brings out the age of the man and the true details on his face. The wrinkles on his forehead and the minor details of his beard.












Architectural Photography

A photo taken by Joas Souza. A Brazillian interior and architectural photographer based in London. The reason as to why i have chosen his photo is because i love how he has used slow shutter speed to get the affect of the moving traffic and still keeping the building bold and standing out with the sky looking like it is midnight blue. I also love the fact that he has taken the shot at a corner angle so we get to see the full width of the building, we can tell that the photographer has truly thought about what he wants from this photo and has a good eye for angles.












Documentary Photography



 This photo was taken by Alex Masi, an Italian documentary photographer who is based in London. What he has shot here is young boy who is  breathing in chemicals from a cloth and behind is a man begging on the floor. The photo was taken in one of the underground exits of cannought place in the centre of New Delhi. I like how they have used to the kid at the spotlight in a way it shows a sense of sympathy to people.






Promotional Photography




This is an image of a Greek restaurant taken by Promotional photographer Sally Crane. What i think she has tried achieving from this is just to get the Company logo and their telephone number so that people who see it get the main info that they need for the restaurant straight away. There is also a lot of natural light set against the restaurant name and number.






This is another photo she has taken of the food presentation at the resteraunt. This also falls under the category of promotional photography. She is trying to show how the food is presented and what kind of food is being served.







Landscape Photography





This is a great shot of landscape photography taken in New Zealand taken by a photographer called Adam Burton. He has used slow shutter speed to get the smooth effect of the water which is having the same effect as the sky. It seems as in this shot the photographer has placed the camera on the slab to make it still. I love how we can see a bit of the cliff as well as the water and the rocks.
