2. This is one of the most common forms of photography.
Also known as portraiture, this type of photography is used
for people whose aim is to capture the emotion and
emphasis from the facial expression and sometimes body
language- as portrait photography can include the person’s
whole body and even background- although the main focus
is on the facial expression and distinct facial features which
are clearly made predominant.
Before the picture is taken, the photographer and subject
must interact, and if the photographer has a type of
portraiture they like to use, they must convey this but also
remember it is still about the subject and communicating
their personality.
It captures their raw emotion.
People have always used pictures to capture time to remember
and celebrate, and portraits were used for personal memories.
But as society developed, important figures soon became the
subject of historic moments and as time went on style and
techniques grew to dictate how people would be portrayed. This
is why portraits can also be used to convey idealization and
importance, rather than the reality the person

4. Macro photography is extremely popular as you can take a hidden treasure,
whether its an object or living creature and make it appear seemingly life size. It
can be an absorbing and magical activity as you truly have the dig deep for almost
unseen details then make it visible to the naked eye in an appealing and
imaginative way. Macro photography reveals details that were invisible
before and these can be used simply for artistic flare
or used for scientific research and documentation.
It can make you see the world in a brighter and more
appreciative sense, since macro photography is used
everywhere, you just need to look close enough to
find it and realise how incredible the world is and
every moment and sight has possibility

6. FashionPhotography
Fashion photography is one of the most influential types of
photography out there. It’s not just about models and advertising
clothes, but they must capture the underlying ideas and promote the
clothing range, the designer, brand, accessories and lifestyle. Fashion
readily follows the seasons and popular fashion trends to include in
their work, in order to get their work noticed out of the vast majority of
fashion industries. The products are made to look as appealing as
possible, so the right model is essential so the clothing looks as
flattering as it can be, although this is easily taken to extreme where
most the looks create unrealistic expectations for customers to reach,
but this is no problem for the industries making profit from this, since it
motivates people to buy as many accessories as possible in an attempt
to reach their impossible goal.

Originally pictures such as outside scenery and
such were used to fill in blank spaces – spaces
such as behind people in pictures or paintings,
but as the art of photography has evolved
backgrounds have been noticed and
appreciated for the purpose they serve. It is
now very popular to find the best background
and people go out of there way to find the
perfect spot that no-one else has seen before
to make their pictures or videos more
appealing and desirable.
With the right background and landscape it can
set the scene to compliment the work or film
taken place there, as it creates a different vibe
depending on the area
There isn’t a simple way to define landscape
photography but we do know it can depict natural
scenery and represent the world around us in an
enchanting manner.
It can give the area purpose and life, or tell a detailed
story, as every mark in every place in the world has a
story behind it of how and why it looks the way it
does. The decades of people and animals that pass by,
the forever changing weather sweeping in drastic or
minimalistic change. All captured in one photo for the
joy of photographers and public.
It can also represent the journey taken by the
photographer to find the perfect spot
