1. Portrait: 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.
Examples:
Twiggy
Photo by: Bert Stern, an American fashion and celebrity portrait photographer.
This photo fits the criteria of Portrait Photography because it focuses mainly on the persons
face. This captures the expression of being surpised by her open mouth and wide eyes; this is a
needeed aspect of Portrain Photography because the person should display the expression,
personality, mood of the subject. Stern was an American fashion and celebrity portrait
photographer so he had a lot of experience with expression, personality, and mood in his
photography.
Uma Thurman
This photo matches the criteria of Portrait Photography because the photo
strictly focuses on the persons face. This photo shows a careless expression
with the use of the imperfect lipstick on her face and the excessive makeup on
her face. LaChapelle is known to use color to show striking features in his
photography, the color used in this photo is her makeup that shows beauty in
the photograph.
2. 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.
Examples:
Coffee
These photos display the criteria of vernacular photography because
drinking coffee is an everyday routine. This photo also isnt very professional
and vernacular photography doesnt have to be.
4. Action Photography: a photograph that captures something in motion
Examples:
Forecastle Festival
This photo shows the criteria of event photography because the event it
was taken for was Forecastle which is a large music festival. This picture
promotes the event with the appealing setting and the large number of
people there which makes it look very popular.
WestFest 2012
This photo shows the criteria of event photography because the event it
was taken for was a music festival called WestFest. It displays whats going on
very well from the crowd point of view, and the photographer makes it as if
you were actually there by using that point of view.
7. Macro Photography: photography producing photographs of small items
larger than life size.
Examples:
