Final Project - Lens Based Image Making

1. Sports photography

Sports photography is achieved with a DSLR with high shutter speeds. Lenses are needed to go in closer or away to keep up fast enough with the sport going on.

3. Landscape Photography

Landscape photography is pictures of various places around the world. Landscape photography mostly captures the feel and atmosphere. Places photographed include mountains, waterfalls, beaches, fields etc, all of which have no people included as the aim of landscape photography is to show off the natural environment.

4. Reportage/Journalistic

This is where the reporter is the photographer. They take pictures as things happen, like people standing around, walking by etc.

5. Macro

Macro photography is extreme close-up photography in which the size of the subject is bigger than life size. Macro enables small things like insects, snowflakes and other tiny objects. It is done by 35mm equivalent magnification.

7. Advertising/Commercial - fashion

Advertising/commercial is to sell something. They sometimes do it by using a model to show off the clothes or product.



8. Fine-art

Fine-art photography is getting a shot of a subject with good lighting and the best environment, apparently it 'depicts high quality and beauty'.
