Analysis for different types of photography

1. Portrait Photography - Steve McCurry
Portrait Photography is photography of a person or a group of people that
displays the expression, personality, and mood of the subject. The focus of
Portrait Photography is normally the persons face, although the entire body
and the background or context may be included.
What makes a portrait photograph is that the photo is focused on one subject;
normally an individual. The type of shot is normally a close up shot, and it is
completely focused on the individual’s face. This is to show the detail of their
face, also the show the expression of a person’s face. In some cases, the
facial expressions could be focused on one emotion, or it could be
ambiguous.

American editorial photographer who is best known for his photograph
“Afghan Girl” which originally appeared in the National Geographic magazine.
Landscape Photography – Andrew Prokos
Landscape Photography is where spaces are shown within the world and is
sometimes vast and never-ending, but other times, it’s microscopic. They
typically capture the presence of nature but can also focus on man-made
features or the disturbances of landscapes.
What makes a Landscape Photograph is that there is open space such as
landscapes, and cityscapes. Also, it is taken in a way where it looks
appealing; where it catches eye of the viewer instantly.

emotions such as fear and sadness.
