“The good thing about pictures is that they never
change, even if the people in them do.”
-Unknown
3. What is
Photography?
Since the dawn of the
photographical invention, the
camera obscura, history has been
immortalised on a bit of paper,
behind a screen, in a picture
frame. As we, humans, evolved as
a race, we found new ways of
capturing that special/destructive
moment, with little to no effort at
all.
4. Macro
“A picture is a secret about a secret, the more it tells
you, the less you know”
- Diana Arbus
5. What is Macro photography?
Landscape Macro
With macro photography, it’s not just about taking a photo, it’s about
taking a photo that reveals more than the human eye can see. The same
goes to landscape photography, but they both work in two different ways.
Landscape – Shows you the world that humans have seen, but don’t
know the beauty of it.
Macro – Shows you the world that insects and plants live, in high
definition.
7. Landscape
“There is an eternal landscape, a geography of the soul;
we search for its outlines all our lives.”
- Josephine Hart

Past Present
We use landscape as a means to tell a story of the world and it’s many
wonderful landmarks, landmarks that are still standing today.
For example, after the tsunami and earthquake hit Japan in 2011, March
11, the world stood in silence as they saw the images of destroyed
towns, homes, and livelihoods. Above is a key example of a once
mutilated car park back in 2011, and a present image of the same car
park.

13. Photojournalism
“In a way, if and individual assumes the risk of placing
himself in the middle of a war to communicate to the
rest of the world what's happening, he's trying to
negotiate for peace. Perhaps that's the reason for those
in charge of perpetuating the war do not like to have
photographers around.”
- James Nachtwey

Photojournalism was first coined in 1900’s, when a photographer, Lewis
Hine, was hired to document children working milling stations, through
photographs. Since then, Photojournalism has taken a path that tells a
painful, sad but highly informative story, without words.
