Photography has evolved significantly since its invention. It began as a way to immortalize history but has since developed into different forms that reveal new perspectives. Macro photography shows the microscopic world invisible to the human eye. Landscape photography tells stories about the beauty of the natural world. Photojournalism documents important historical events and social issues through impactful images without words. Portraiture provides insights into individuals. Technological advances have improved the quality and uses of photographs across various applications like social media and identification. Overall, photography is an amazing tool that allows moments in time to be preserved and shared as an ongoing story.

“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.

“Snow flakes like this only Ben Anderman
appear when the temperature is
about -5ºC; too warm and they'll
be big, but not symmetrical, and
will melt quickly; too cold and
they'll be symmetrical, but really
small and not very interesting.

scarf, with natural light, at

“There is an eternal landscape, a geography of the soul;
we search for its outlines all our lives.”

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

painful, sad but highly informative story, without words.

Portraits have given a great insight to a certain individual, they have told
stories, secrets and made every single emotion, noticeable.

of Photography?
“Photography lets a person document moments in time and
keep them close to their hearts, it’s amazing to believe that
photography has developed much further and has managed
to capture glorious moments.
Like a Story that is forever being updated.”
