Photojournalism

Photojournalism can fall under all subjects of photography but the image needs to be news worthy to end up being published.

There are two types of photojournalism :
The first type is where an image is used to illustrate a story. Many feature journalists work closely with photographers and commission them to produce images that will be published with their articles. There is no limit to how many images can be used. This is usually the photo editors decision.

Abstrac photography

The invention of the camera liberated painting from its reportage role. Gone was the need to produce a likeness, detail the events of the story, painting was free to express emotions. True what had gone before contained an emotional content but now painting could experiment and through imaginative interpretation allow the emotional content to predominate.

As the 19th century evolved and throughout the 20th century painters from the impressionists through the cubists and expressionists to the minimalists could to use colour, line and form to go straight to the emotional content of their work. The representational aspect of the work become coincidental and was pushed to the point that it became akin to lying on the grass making shapes out of clouds. Enjoyable as it may be it is secondary to the nature of clouds.

The introduction of the digital darkroom has given this freedom to photographers. The range of tools to fix and enhance the camera’s capture when pushed to its extremes produces a range of fascinating effects. When added to the filters built into the better software, images can be produced that any comparison to the original photograph is purely coincidental.

Sony 85mm Lens - Review

Sony 85mm is not a standard lens. This lens is based on classic models which were popular among photographers because of their pictorial qualities and speed. The lens is able to offer consistent performance every time even when you are using different imaging ratios. The older models were popular for their sharpness but they were susceptible to flares and this is one of the aspects that have been changed in the Sony 85mm lens.

The Sony 85mm is coated and this has eliminated the flare issues that were present in the older models. The lens is designed for Sony DLSR cameras and it has a 127.5mm focal length in terms of 35mm film equivalent which is impressive for this kind of lens. It is a small lens but it has a solid build. There are nine aperture blades on this lens. The nine blades provide circular apertures and impressive out of focus blur. The close-focusing on this lens is limiting at 85cm and therefore you cannot use it to capture small objects and intricate details.

Celebrity Photography

The idea of using photography to disseminate images of famous men and women is as old as photography itself. From the middle 1850s and onwards almost all of the large portrait studios entered the celebrity picture business. Every photographer had his or her specialty. As competition intensified, each studio was encouraged, within budget, to attract celebrities and, if possible, obtain exclusive rights to them.

Celebrity photography is a sub-specialty of photojournalism and deals entirely with celebrities in a variety of settings and events. Magazines and newspapers typically buy and run four main types of celebrity photographs: celebrity portraits, music photographs, event photographs, and pap, or paparazzi photos. Celebrity photographers typically specialize in one of these types of photography, with paparazzi being the least respected of these.

Graphic Design

The truth is that it's not difficult to show good examples of graphic design in photographs. I can present to you countless beautiful images with perfect compositions and with subjects that have striking or compelling shapes. The hard part is to go out in the woods, or the desert, or a city and find graphic designs that are great. The world is, after all, a compositional mess. There are rocks, mountains, buildings, dirt, bushes, branches, and man-made objects all over the place. It's our job as photographers to make sense of it, to find in all the visual chaos a design that is artistic and pleasing.

Exposure value

In photography, exposure value (EV) denotes all combinations of a camera's shutter speed and relative aperture that give the same exposure. In an attempt to simplify choosing among combinations of equivalent camera settings, the concept was developed by the German shutter manufacturer Friedrich Deckel (de) in the 1950s (Ray 2000, 318). Exposure value also is used to indicate an interval on the photographic exposure scale, with 1 EV corresponding to a standard power-of-2 exposure step, commonly referred to as a stop.
