Techniques

With the increased complexity in styling also comes an increased complexity in lighting to make the image look more dramatic. While many commercial photographers only stick with one light for the model, fashion photographers tend to use a wide range of lights and lighting accessories.

During a fashion shoot some photographers use several lights to enhance the effectiveness of the photo.

Then and Now

These two photos show the comparison between Vogue front cover photos in the 1950’s and today. In the 1950’s the photographers dressed the models very appropriately, they covered most of their skin and didn't wear the brightest of clothes. The photos were safe and formal.

Nowadays the models for Vogue dress very daring and in bright outgoing clothes. The photographers take adventurous pictures and involve a lot of women sex appeal, this can make more women buy the magazines than what they did in 1950’s.

Landscape photography?

Landscape photography shows spaces within the world, sometimes large and never ending, other times microscopic. Landscape photographs typically capture the presence of nature but can also focus on man made features or disturbances of landscapes.

Techniques

Using ND grads, strong Neutral Density filters and polarisers. Landscape photographers use and carry a vast range of filters to help them solve exposure problems or produce an effect in their photos that can be difficult to recreate in photo editing software.

Level Horizons. Most times you'll want the horizon in a picture to be level. This is specific for when shooting seascapes, otherwise the water will look as if it’s running out the frame.

Then and Now

These three photos show how landscape photography has changed throughout the years. In the 1950’s photographers had to use large cameras that took a long time to take the photo. Landscape photographs were usually very plain as they weren't taken at speed to capture anything in particular and the photos were usually black and white. The photos were also quite blurred as the equipment was not as high tech as it is today.

Now, every photo is defined down to every detail. The cameras take photos at speed so usually have moving wildlife or nature in them. The colours are bright and out going to be noticed.

Portrait Photography?

Portrait photography or portraiture is 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 may be included.

Where do we see these photos?

Techniques

Most portraits are shot at 200mm or 85mm to create beautiful image compression that a 50mm lens would not be able to produce.

By shooting your portrait at a longer focal length will also create more dramatic background blur (bokeh) and brings the background closer to your subject.

Then and Now

These photos show the difference between 1950’s portrait pictures and pictures taken nowadays. In the 1950’s the photos were usually black and white with a simple facial expression such as a straight face or a basic smile.

Nowadays, portrait pictures usually have dramatic make up or facial expressions so something stands out.

Techniques

A 50-60mm lens is suitable for macro photography. The 150-200mm lens range is the most expensive, but is best for when you’re taking pictures of creatures such as butterflies and dragonflies who take flight.

Use a third hand. A third hand device is an essential macro photography essential. It enables you to support or position subjects just where you want them. It can provide you to give your subject endless backgrounds.

Then and Now

In the 1960s most macro pictures weren't as zoomed in and clear as they are today. Most pictures were of car wheels and cars.

Nowadays the camera lens is more focused. The pictures are of insects, flowers and water. The technology nowadays is so much more advanced so the pictures are to best quality.
