Taking pictures of ourselves and our loved ones has been our passion especially on special events. However, do we really know what photography is? The following are a few guidelines so that we may further understand and appreciate photography more.
Types of Photography:
1. A type of photography that deals with capturing beautiful landscapes is known as Aerial Photography.
2. Amateur Photography - From the name itself, it is a type of photography that is done by someone who is not a professional in the field of photography.
3. Adventure or Action Photography - This is a type of photography which fits those who love adventure. More often, photographers in this type of field take pictures of different sports, or perhaps daring feats, different challenges and many other things of adventure.
4. Kirlian Photography is a contact print photography. What happens in this type of photography is that an object touches a photographic plate connected to a power source which is high voltage. This will create an aura which then produces an image. Aura Photography is another name of this type of photography.
5. Another type of photography called Time-Lapse happens when one sets up the camera in a special way so that it captures pictures with long exposure. This can produce a photo showing a passing of time while other things are portrayed as moving things. A photo showing a street that has a lot of car lights seen as blurred lines is a great example of Time-Lapse photography.
6. Underwater Photography - As the term implies, this refers to photographs taken underwater. The photographer may take images under a pool, lake, river, or the sea to capture what's happening underneath.
7. Black and White Photography - Black and white photography is not just photography showing pictures in black and white. The goal is to focus and explore the bare beauty of the subject or model through its shapes, tones, or textures. Shadows and highlights are two important elements in this type.
The types of photography mentioned above are just some of the types that one who loves photography can delve in. Photography itself has many uses, the most common of which are for artistic expression and for business promotion. For those who just love taking pictures of special moments can use any type of photography that he wishes.
