2. LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY – CHARLIE WAITE
Landscape photographer, Charlie Waite, took this photo. This
photograph falls into the category of ‘landscape’. A landscape
photograph usually shows vast spaces within the world, a
typical landscape photograph captures the presence of
nature. The purpose of this photograph is so that it can be
sold as copies to the public and even to be shown in galleries
for independent buyers. This photography uses the method of
‘rule of thirds’ as the sweet spots of the grid fall onto key
parts of the photograph. Also this photograph shows themes
of ‘leading lines’. This is suggested by the green path, which
looks like it’s leading the viewer to the end of the photograph,
which is the horizon line, where the top two sweet spots rest.
This photograph may have been naturally lighted at first but
may have been digitally edited. I think it may have been
possible that this photograph was cropped due to it’s equal
dimensions. There are contrasting colours of the bright green
hills and grass and the dark stormy sky. The photo is
composed so that as the scene goes further the more out of
focus it gets, for example the clouds and horizon are not as in
focus, as the grass nearest to the camera.
Charlie Waite, also took the photograph below. This
photograph uses themes of ‘leading lines’. The purpose of
this photograph is for it to be sold. This is evident as the two
lines lead the eyes to the middle of the photograph, giving the
impression that there is more ahead than what is visible to
the eye. The two leading lines are here. A wide aperture was
used so that everything is in focus point so there isn’t really a
focal point for the photograph. I think that the photograph
may be cropped; this is because it has 400x400 dimensions. It
is suggested by the brown leaves that this photo was taken in
the autumn.

3. PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY – MARIO TESTINO
This photograph taken by Mario Testino falls into
the category of ‘portrait’. Typically, a portrait
photograph is a photograph of a person or a
group of people, which displays expression,
personality and mood of the person or people.
The purpose of this photograph was to be sold in
mediums such as magazines, newspapers and
even on the Internet. The lighting in this
photograph looks like a use of natural light and a
small light shining above her head, shining on her
hair. This is because most of the light falls on her
face but also the back of room looks light which
suggest that room is lit with natural light. The
photo is black and white to add to the classic look
of the photograph. This photograph may have
been cropped to centre on Emma Watson being
the main focal point of the photograph.
This photograph also taken by Mario Testino falls
into the ‘portrait’ category. The purpose of this
photograph is so that it can be sold to magazines,
newspapers and on the Internet. The lighting
coming from the window is natural. This is
evident most of the natural light is shining on her
face. The use of colours is natural nude colours,
which in my opinion adds to the meaning of the
photograph, as it is natural. Everything about the
photo is natural, the lighting, and the off-guard
laugh whilst the photograph was being taken. I
also think that the meaning of this photograph
shows happiness and the opening up of Angelina
Jolie.

4. WAR PHOTOGRAPHY – MARCO DI LAURO
This photograph taken by Marco Do Lauro has a theme
of ‘war’. A war photograph typically captures war and
life in war-torn areas. Sometimes, war photographs
can be manipulated which doesn’t make the
photograph necessarily for journalism. The purpose of
this photograph was to add to his portfolio but to also
be sold to media sources such as magazines and
newspaper, blogs and other sources of journalism etc.
The lighting of this photograph is natural, this evident
because of the beam of light shining through a
window. Also the photo is in a horizontal position. The
meaning of this photograph shows vulnerability of the
people in it. It also shows what was happening at the
time that the photograph was taken.
The second photograph also, taken by Marco Di Lauro,
falls into the category of ‘war’. The purpose of this
photograph is to be sold to media sources and to be
added to Di Lauro’s portfolio. I believe the lighting in
this photograph was also natural. I think the colouring
may have been altered on photograph. The meaning
of the photograph is to show sadness of the fact
families had to go to a school to identify their family
members and how many victims were lying there in
bags.
