Fashion Photography
Application:
Fashion photography is a type of photography mainly used to display clothing and other fashion items, and is usually used to advertise the fashion item brand, or, the model in the photo. As time goes by, fashion is drastically changing, forever looking into the future of fashion.
Some of the main british fashion magazines include:
Context:
Most fashion photography is found in fashion magazines, as this the most popular way to get it to a wide array of people all over the world. Fashion magazines are almost 100% fashion, either fashion photos, or adverts advertising well known brands of clothes, perfumes, etc.
Technique
Different lighting effects and using different backgrounds play a big part in fashion photography. One of the main techniques used today is the use of photo editing tools, such as photoshop, to air brush out imperfections, and slightly alter the image

- Vogue
- Bohemia
- Dazed & Confused
- Look
- Pop
Fashion photography can be pretentious. Magazine editors usually have the final decision and it can be a cut-throat and ruthless business. Most of the photos taken are discarded, this may be because the editor doesn't like the style, clothes, colour arrangement, or something as simple as the editor having a bad day.

In this example of photoshopping, you can see evidence of the models actual figure and skin tone in the left hand picture, whilst the right hand picture shows how airbrushing the photo can remove all imperfections the model may have, or wants to remove
Art Photography
Pablo Picasso once stated we all know that art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realise truth. From painting and poetry, to symphanies and sculpture, art brings beauty and illumination to some, confusion and frustration to others. But what is art?
The idea of a work of art created by an atrist did not truely exist before the Renaissance. And what value does art still have, does it still make us realise the truth, or is art incresingly rarefied and obsoelete in this digital, disposable age?
Application
When I think of art photography, I think of black and white modern photos, sometimes only focusing on one thing, bluring out the background, or photos that have been manipulated, using things such as lights, or edited on photoshop.
An example of a few Art Photographers:

Conceptual photography
To me, conceptual photography means to take pictures of the bizarre, odd or unknown. usually, the photographer will take pictures of real life, but with a slight twist. An example is shown below.
This photo was taken by Alejandro Chaskielberg, and as you see here, you can see a hard working man. Alejandro Chaskielbergs photos are supposed to document the life and work of the islanders of South America. From the photographs that I saw, I can tell that he is fond of using blurs to draw the viewers eyes towards the most clear photo, using coloured lights to bring a bland, colourless scene into a colourful, creative world.
Context
Art photography is mainly found in art galleries, museums and also in books or magazines dedicated to displaying art.
An art photographer can take a photograph of an ordanary, everyday object and with clever use of light, camera angles, colour, setting, and other props make you see the object in a completly different way to how you would normally view it. This makes the viewer look at the photo and gives him/her something to think about.
Technique
Art photographers use different techniques than other artists, mainly because art photography is created from real objects, in a abstract world, unknown to us. An art photographer sometimes might use a single person in the photo, drawing eyes towards them or, bold, bright colours, to liven up a bleak scene. Nowadays, most art photographers use digital image editing tools, such as photoshop, to add effects, or change the photo completely. Some photographers prefer to use natural light.

Portraiture
Application
Basically, a portrait is a picture of someone. In some cases, its the photographer who has all the power of what he wants to show in the portrait. the photographer might want to show certain aspects, or traits the person has, emphasising on them, sometimes blowing them out of proportion. When people first started having a portrait done, they had to be wealthy, as portraits used to show power and wealth.
Context
Portraiture can be found every where, from ID cards, to art galleries. also, some photographers like to create books full of their artwork, and sometimes contain portraits of people or things. Another place where you'd find portraits is on bank notes and coins, showing a important person, such as the queen, on them.
Technique
Some photographers like to photograph people in different poses, or with different expressions, whilst other photographers capture people as they are, not posing or expressing themselves falsely as this will show the viewers the real person.
Studio photography is a type of photography where the photographer captures his subject with controlled lights and colours, and with studio photography, the photographer can give the photo any type of mood he wishes.

Photo Journalism
Context
The photos used in photojournalism doesn't always tell the full truth behind the photo, some are doctored in such a way to change peoples appearance, make someone or something be in the picture that wasn't in the original photo, etc.
The decisive moment is where the photographer captures a split second of the world, giving it a different perspective.
Henri Cartier-Bresson told the Washington Post in 1957 "There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative." One frame in or out of the decisive moment, and it might ruin the photo, and not be able to show what the photographer wants to show.
Application
Photo journalism can be found all over the place, magazines, books, newspapers, TV, films, internet, etc., and can sometimes be used to show key points in history.
Technique
Henri Cartier-Bresson used a famous camer introduced in 1925 Germany called the Leica. it was famous because it was the first portable camera to be made, making it much easier to carry around. It also enabled the photographer to look through the camera lens, and still be able to see out of the other eye, so he/she can get a better idea of what the picture will look like.
