LANDSCPACE PHOTOGRAPHY

The most fundamental part of taking good landscape photos is knowing what landscape photography is in the first place. I’m not talking about dictionary definitions here, either — what matters is how it works in practice. So, what is Landscape Photography, and why is it so amazing?



Defining Landscape Photography

Have you ever been out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nature, without a single person around? It’s a crazy feeling. You can look around the world, and you feel like you’re a part of it — and that is Landscape Photography.

Landscape Photography is capturing an image that embodies the spirit of the outdoors. It carries a sense of being there to see something incredible. When viewers look at your work, their hearts should jump. You want them to feel the same emotions that you felt, standing in the middle of nature and bringing back something amazing.

Landscape Photography is spending all day watching a storm gather, telling yourself that the sunset will be incredible, and then returning home without a single good photo.

It’s about leaving your tripod in the car because there aren’t any clouds in the sky, then seeing one of the most spectacular sunsets of your life.


The modern definition of Landscape Photography is very broad. Land or sea, urban or nature, big or small — by some measures, if you call it landscape photography, it is. You might say that this definition is too open, and that’s fair, but it also has a certain truth to it. When you try to restrict the definition of landscape photography, you’re placing limits around something that should be creative and boundless.



Landscape Photography is about people. You aren’t taking photos of people, but your end goal is always to show people what you captured. When you bring a viewer into a scene, giving them a sense of the world that you saw, that is Landscape Photography.

Abstract photography , also known as conceptual, concrete, or experimental photography , is a genre that is difficult to define. Abstract photographs often use color, light, shadow, texture, shape, or form to imbue a feeling, sensation, or impression — without actually providing a representational image of the object or scene that’s being photographed. Shots that typically fit into this genre of photography are not immediately associated with a familiar object in the viewer’s eye because they are created by isolating a particular object or natural scene in a way that removes contextual details from the image, either through framing the shot in a creative way or through image editing afterward. Abstract photography can be intimidating to photographers because of the amount of freedom that comes with it. The rules are….well, there are no rules! You know the saying: “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, well abstract photography is exactly what the viewer makes it, and it can hold ma

FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY

Food photography  is a still life  photography   genre used to create attractive still life  photographs  of  food . It is a specialization of commercial  photography , the products of which are used in advertisements, magazines, packaging, menus or cookbooks. Starting with backgrounds  Backgrounds are an integral part of a food image’s overall look, even if you don’t actually see more than a hint of them. Backgrounds often set the mood for the image and either blend in or contrast with the food subject. Whatever look you go for, the idea is to really make the food the star of the show. A clean, beautifully lit white background, creates a light, whitewashed setting that can be a lovely and appetizing look for a food shot. The possibilities are endless for what you can use as a background to add texture to and increase interest in your food shots . You can use metals, woods, plastics, papers, and fabrics, as well as cool organic materials, such as leaves or coffee beans. When it comes
