Different Types Of Photography

Night Photography

This type of photography requires a good acquaintance of the use of light, shutter speed and aperture. These types of photos are appealing as the spectator gets to see extraordinary aspects which cannot be seen by the naked eye.

War Photography

Capturing images of conflicts in war-torn areas fall under this genre. War photographers generally put their life in danger to cover the event.

Architectural Photography

This type of photography asserts with taking pictures of houses, structures etc. from the different angles and with different of views. The main reason of architectural photography is to create a positive impact on forthcoming real estate buyers. It is mainly used in the business sector.

Astrophotography

It is a kind of Photography where images can be captured through a telescope, portraying outer space.

Urban Photography

This kind of photography emphasizes urban environments, its people, culture etc.

Rural Photography

This kind of photography emphasizes rural environments, its people, culture etc.

Sepia Photography

Sepia is a reddish brown pigment obtained from cuttlefish, once commonly used in water colour painting and so on. Sepia tone in photography is a sort of simulated sepia effect. It refers to the dark-brown colour of a specially prepared photographic print. Most digital photo editing programs offer a sepia tone option, along with a grayscale conversion and other photo filters to enhance the look and feel of the image. It is often associated with images from the late 19th century.

Different Types Of Photography

Landscape Photography

This type of photography which features the large areas of space, large lands, or of the world. These images are meant to attribute the grand scale of nature.

Aerial Photography

Aerial photography is a kind of clicking technique where the snaps are taken from a prominent height such as from planes, from parachutes, from air balloons and from skyscrapers. These pictures show a larger sight of the subject and its setting.

Action/Sport Photography

This type of photography is considered as one of the toughest photography technique and it requires huge practice along with an arrangement of high quality instruments. It captures the expressions, actions and moves of the players.

 Portrait Photography

One of the oldest genres of clicking is portrait photography. It can differ from shooting friends to family members, pets, people and every creature around people.

Food photography

This type of photography is used by restaurants, websites or bloggers to attract customers to try and sell their product.

Different Of Types Of Photography

Wedding Photography

The best moments of your life can be captured by wedding photographers. Using fast lens and creative lighting, you will be surprised with the end results.

HDR Photography

HDR Photography is all about capturing three different types of images and merging them together which brings out amazing contrasts in your photos. While shooting in HDR it’s best to use automatic capturing, else set your camera on a tripod and make sure it doesn’t move. This is one of the important tips while capturing in HDR.

Travel Photography

People who love to travel can become amazing travelling photographers. Just keep shooting while you have fun and also have an eye for detail. Different country traditions can be seen through the travel photography.

Time Lapse Photography

Time lapse Photography is the best way to capture motion. This involves continuous shooting of a specific subject at different time intervals.

Macro Photography

Macro photography brings out the minute details of the chosen subject. Things that are not normally visible to the human eyes looks amazing in macro photography.

Different Types Of Photography

It is a combination of different types of photography techniques which provides the viewer a message in the form of art. It’s all about the right angle, correct lighting and great lens. For different types of photos, the lens has to be changed accordingly. If you want more details in your photo, then opt for macro lens. You can see a lot of people taking pictures on their cameras and mobile phones, if you want your photo to stand out from the rest, it’s important to learn some retouching works, by using Photoshop etc. Some people get confused with beauty photography and glamour photography. Glamour photography is like fantasy photography and beauty photography is like shooting portrait photography. Let us look through the different types of photography styles to inspire you. 

Fashion Photography

In the world of photography, Fashion Photography is one of the most sought after careers since it is one of the most highly paid jobs. Fashion photographers are sought out to create portfolios for budding and experienced models.

Beauty Photography

Beauty Photography is similar to portrait photography as the photographer brings out the real beauty of his models through his talent. The best beauty photography happens when there is a right combination of trust, lighting and imaginative skills from both the model and the photographer.

Nature Photography

Nature Photography doesn’t involve only plants or trees; it involves the natural scenery as seen through the photographer’s eyes. It can be landscapes, hills, waterfalls or anything that can be captured outdoors.

Wildlife Photography

Wildlife photography is a challenging style of photography as the photographer should have good field expertise. A lot of patience, correct angle and sense of timing is required for the perfect shot.

Black And White Photography

Most of the black and white photography styles are classic as it brings out the raw beauty of the subjects. Contrast and shadows go a long way in making your photos realistic and beautiful.

        

Invention Of Photography

Synthesis Photography

Synthesis photography is part of computer-generated imagery (CGI) where the shooting process is modeled on real photography. The CGI, creating digital copies of real universe, requires a visual representation process of these universes. Synthesis photography is the application of analog and digital photography in digital space. With the characteristics of the real photography but not being constrained by the physical limits of real world, synthesis photography allows to get away from real photography.

Invention Of Photography

Digital Photography

In 1981, Sony unveiled the first consumer camera to use a charge-coupled device for imaging, eliminating the need for film: the Sony Mavica. While the Mavica saved images to disk, the images were displayed on television, and the camera was not fully digital. In 1991, Kodak unveiled the DCS 100, the first commercially available digital single lens reflex camera. Although its high cost precluded uses other than photojournalism and professional photography, commercial digital photography was born.

Digital imaging uses an electronic image sensor to record the image as a set of electronic data rather than as chemical changes on film. An important difference between digital and chemical photography is that chemical photography resists photo manipulation because it involves film and photographic paper, while digital imaging is a highly manipulative medium. This difference allows for a degree of image post-processing that is comparatively difficult in film-based photography and permits different communicative potentials and applications.

Digital photography dominates the 21st century. More than 99% of photographs taken around the world are through digital cameras, increasingly through smartphones.

Colour Photography

Kodachrome, the first modern "integral tripack" (or "monopack") color film, was introduced by Kodak in 1935. It captured the three color components in a multi-layer emulsion. One layer was sensitized to record the red-dominated part of the spectrum, another layer recorded only the green part and a third recorded only the blue. Without special film processing, the result would simply be three superimposed black-and-white images, but complementary cyan, magenta, and yellow dye images were created in those layers by adding color couplers during a complex processing procedure.

Color photography was possible long before Kodachrome, as this 1903 portrait by Sarah Angelina Acland demonstrates, but in its earliest years, the need for special equipment, long exposures, and complicated printing processes made it extremely rare.

Agfa's similarly structured Agfacolor Neu was introduced in 1936. Unlike Kodachrome, the color couplers in Agfacolor Neu were incorporated into the emulsion layers during manufacture, which greatly simplified the processing. Currently, available color films still employ a multi-layer emulsion and the same principles, most closely resembling Agfa's product.

Instant color film, used in a special camera which yielded a unique finished color print only a minute or two after the exposure, was introduced by Polaroid in 1963.

Color photography may form images as positive transparencies, which can be used in a slide projector, or as color negatives intended for use in creating positive color enlargements on specially coated paper. The latter is now the most common form of film (non-digital) color photography owing to the introduction of automated photo printing equipment. After a transition period centered around 1995–2005, color film was relegated to a niche market by inexpensive multi-megapixel digital cameras. Film continues to be the preference of some photographers because of its distinctive "look".

Colour Photography

Colour photography was explored beginning in the 1840s. Early experiments in colour required extremely long exposures (hours or days for camera images) and could not "fix" the photograph to prevent the colour from quickly fading when exposed to white light.

The first permanent colour photograph was taken in 1861 using the three-color-separation principle first published by Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell in 1855. The foundation of virtually all practical colour processes, Maxwell's idea was to take three separate black-and-white photographs through red, green and blue filters. This provides the photographer with the three basic channels required to recreate a colour image. Transparent prints of the images could be projected through similar colour filters and superimposed on the projection screen, an additive method of colour reproduction. A colour print on paper could be produced by superimposing carbon prints of the three images made in their complementary colours, a subtractive method of colour reproduction pioneered by Louis Ducos du Hauron in the late 1860s.

The first color photograph made by the three-color method suggested by James Clerk Maxwell in 1855, taken in 1861 by Thomas Sutton. The subject is a colored, tartan patterned ribbon.

Russian photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii made extensive use of this colour separation technique, employing a special camera which successively exposed the three colour-filtered images on different parts of an oblong plate. Because his exposures were not simultaneous, unsteady subjects exhibited colour "fringes" or, if rapidly moving through the scene, appeared as brightly coloured ghosts in the resulting projected or printed images.

Implementation of colour photography was hindered by the limited sensitivity of early photographic materials, which were mostly sensitive to blue, only slightly sensitive to green, and virtually insensitive to red. The discovery of dye sensitization by photochemist Hermann Vogel in 1873 suddenly made it possible to add sensitivity to green, yellow and even red. Improved color sensitizers and ongoing improvements in the overall sensitivity of emulsions steadily reduced the once-prohibitive long exposure times required for colour, bringing it ever closer to commercial viability.
