Portrait photography• Portrait photography or portraiture is photography

Techniques• When photographing portraits it is best to have
you camera set on fast shutter speed, this means that the hole letting the light in is open for a short amount of time. This is to avoid any blurring on the images as it is likely that your subject will move so you need the shutter speed to be quick in order to get a sharp image.
• It would also be beneficial if you use a tripod to avoid camera shake from holding the camera and slight movement which would create a blurred image.

Landscape photography
Landscape photography shows spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other time microscopic. Landscape photographs typically capture the presence of nature but can also focus on man made features or disturbances of the world. However, landscape photographs show little or no human interactions and do not have people within the photographs. Most Landscape photography we have is of nature includingbeaches, green grass, flatlands, mountains, active volcanos
and other natural features.
