This document discusses different types of photography including portrait, landscape, macro, and photojournalism photography. Portrait photography focuses on people and aims to capture expression and personality. Landscape photography depicts natural or man-made scenery without people. Macro photography produces large close-up images of small objects like plants and insects. Photojournalism tells visual stories through unedited photos of current events like wars.

2. Portrait photography
• Portrait photography or portraiture is photography of a
person or group of people that displays the expression,
personality, and mood of the subject.
• The focus of the photograph is usually the person's face,
although the entire body and the background or context
may be included.

6. Techniques
• When photographing portraits it is best to have you
camera set on fast shutter speed, this means that the
hole letting the light in is open for a short amount of
time. This is to avoid any blurring on the images as it
is likely that your subject will move so you need the
shutter speed to be quick in order to get a sharp
image.
• It would also be beneficial if you use a tripod to avoid
camera shake from holding the camera and slight
movement which would create a blurred image.

8. Landscape photography
Landscape photography shows spaces within the world,
sometimes vast and unending, but other time microscopic.
Landscape photographs typically capture the presence of
nature but can also focus on man made features or
disturbances of the world. However, landscape
photographs show little or no human interactions and do
not have people within the photographs.
Most Landscape photography we have is of nature including
beaches, green grass, flatlands, mountains, active volcanos
and other natural features.
