Specialist Location Photography Task

Types of location photography.




Architectural and Environmental Photography
- This form of Location photography is
based around capturing humans and the
landscape that surrounds us, it also
focuses on how we as humans react and
change the land and environment that we
live in.
An example of a photographer is:
Mark Leong



Environmental Photography
- This form of Location photography is
based around capturing a model or subject
matter in its usual habitat or belonging,
this type of photography is heavily focused
on emotion and capturing a subject at its
most vulnerable.
An example of a photographer is:
Jane Brown
Journalism Photography
- This form of Location photography is
based around going out and finding a
subject matter to photograph rather that
bring the subject to you as you do when
using a studio.
An example of a photographer is:
W. Eugene Smith
Landscape Photography
- This form of Location photography is
based around  capturing different areas of
our world this can be a variety of shots
from close ups to vast images.
An example of a photographer is:
Jem Southam

Landscape photography can be challenging- it is all about working within the fixed constraints of the land. You do not have the aids of sound and music like in video and cinema. You must exist within the natural world, and you do not have studio lighting to help you get the best detail from every shot.




People Photography
- This form of Location photography is
based again around going out and finding
your subject and capturing the person
more naturaly, however this style of
photography can also be done in a studio
setting.
An example of a photographer is:
Diane Arbus



War Photography
- This form of Location photography is
based again aroundone of the extreams of
human life, in war photography is used to
capture the horrors of what truely happens
when countries are at war, quiet often
these images are not sensored and depect
brutal or harsh scenes.
An example of a photographer is:
Roger Fenton
Social Documentary Photography
- This form of Location photography is
based around the recording of humans in
their natural condition with a camera.
Often it also refers to a socially
critical genre of photography dedicated
to showing the life of underprivileged or
disadvantaged people. 
An example of a photographer is
Lewis Hine



Fashion Photography
- This form of Location photography is
based around Selling and desplaying the
latest cloths and items at the time. the
shots taken focus heavily of creating the
highest level of aesthetic appeal as they
can to the viewer.
An example of a photographer is:
Andrea Klarin

There is a contradiction in fashion photography; in theory, its purpose is the same as that of a catalogue: to depict the clothes and help to sell them. In practice however, fashion photography has been used as a vehicle for self-expression by some of the worlds greatest photographers.







 
Still LifePhotography
- This form of Location photography is
based again around photographing subject
matter that does not move and is most
often in animate objects, as of such this
style of photography looks much more
closely at the use of lighting and the
subject matters form.
An example of a photographer is:
Josef Sudek
Still, meaning anything that doesn't move and life, any living or once alive organism. Traditionally, most still life pictures predominantly used to be compositions of fruits or flowers...at least from what I have seen of them.



Scientific Photography
- This form of Location photography is
based on visualizing things that can’t be
seen with the unaided eye. It is used to
describe natural and man-made phenomena
in a way that clarifies, educates, and
illuminates.
An example of a photographer is:
Harold Edgerton Street Phoography
- This form of Location photography is
based around Photographing people and
situations in public plases, this style
of photography is also commonly known to
reflect the happenings of the world at the
time  politicaly and the styles of modern
life.
An example of a photographer is:
Philip Lorca Di-Corcia

Street photography is an art photography that features the human condition within public places and does not necessitate the presence of a street or even the urban environment. The subject of the photograph might be absent of people and can be object or environment.
