PHOTOGRAPHYBY CHRIS PHAROAH

LANDSCAPE

Landscape photography is typically designed to capture the presence of nature but can also focus on man made features such as cities and built up areas. Landscape photography can have various different objectives one of these being able to recall an experience on an outing taking pictures of the apparent scenery, others seeing it as an outdoor lifestyle being involved with nature and all of it’s elements. Landscape photographs often show little or no human activity aiming to capture features like strongly defined landforms and weather.

PORTRAIT

Portrait photography is aimed to capture the expressions, personality and or the mood of the subject, the main focus of a portrait picture is typically the persons face even though they’re body and background is still included. Portrait photo’s are rarely taken to capture land and scenery but instead focus on humans and how they are portrayed.

COMMERCIAL

Commercial photography involves taking pictures for commercial use: for example in adverts, merchandising, and product placement. Commercial photography is also used in corporate brochures and leaflets, menus in cafes and restaurants, and similar commercial uses where photographs enhance a text. Commercial photography is used to promote or sell a product or service. There are a number of ways that photographs can be used to better market products and corporations

FASHION

The emphasis in fashion photography lies on the mood and styling of the image. The whole image is much more complex. You usually won’t see plain white or off-white backgrounds in fashion photography and the models are usually styled very dramatically with thick eyeliners, dramatic eye shadows, etc.
