I am writing a speech on Photography and there are so many types I cannot choose one! I thought turning to the wonderful 365 community would help me out! Your input would be very greatly appreciated!!
@crispypringles4 I'm not quite sure what you are asking us. Do you want to know what we think the 3 main types of photography are, or are you asking us what are the 3 top types of photos we shoot?
@crispypringles4 yeah, I can't think of three types that wouldn't leave out other big types. Also, I don't know if the question is asking about technology or subject matter.
This is too hard. I just googled "types of photography" and there are at least 30. Just pick the broadest categories, that can include some of the others. I better stop procrastinating my own work!!
I would choose to do it on photojournalism, portraits, and nature/landscape photography.
These three types are all very different so you wouldn't run the risk of repeating information on them. Photojournalism is capturing a moment as it happens, portraits are more posed, and nature (mostly) excludes human life. Also, other types of photography fit into this category so you could briefly talk about them as sub topics if you need more to talk about. For example, wedding and pet photography fits into portraits and stock photography is really a combination of all three.
@crispypringles4 i think photojournalism is an important one, and will allow you a lot of latitude for your speech. This realm of photography includes nature (think National Geographic), sports (think Sports Illustrated), News, Features (magazine articles on whatever, say a soldier coming home from Iraq or something)....almost anything you can write a story about in a magazine or newspaper has a photograph to go with it, and they are all considered photojournalism....you can also "write" photo narratives that tell a story in just pictures with no written story. It's a very broad spectrum. :)
@sdpace@britterinphoto Thanks!! Yes this helps very much! I'm just like overwhelmed with the amount of things I have to research and was just looking for other input! thank you!!
Portraits (of various types), still life (of various types) and landscape (again, of various types). That's sort of a broad over view, but each on gets subdivided further. For example, portraits includes some elements of photojournalism, posed photos, weddings and pets. Landscapes, as far as I'm concerned, include architecture anf that sort of thing too. Good luck.
I personally agree with @britterinphoto but would say landscape instead of more nature (which could include animals). I think that for Portrait and photojournalism there's a lot of concentration on a person / animal whereas with landscape its not (although it does help to have a point of focus in it). The difference here may be quite interesting to write about
