Three Kinds of Photography

Photography can be done in many forms. Each form can take a long time to master, and some are harder to learn than others, but all are beautiful in their own ways. 

Let's take a look at three of those forms:

Landscapes

Landscapes are usually wide shots; they can include land, water, or both. The sky usually covers the top third of the image, however, there are some occasions when the sky may take up more space. 

Portraits

Portrait photography is any photograph with a person in the frame. One of the most important parts of a portrait are the eyes. If the eyes are out of focus and blurry, the image usually loses an important part. The eyes let the viewer connect with the subject of the image. Positioning is also important. A portrait photograph is often best with the subject placed slightly to the right or left side of the photograph; this is because of the rule of thirds, which applies to many other types of photography as well.

Macro / Close Up

Macro is a photography that has a one to one ratio of something that is usually very small. Close ups are similar to macro, but they are not quite as close as 1:1. Macro photography shows an image of something that is small and portrays it in the camera view as the size it is in real life. It also has a shallow depth of field due to the close focusing distance that is needed.
