There are many different styles in photography such as shots like portrait, fine art, sport and architectural but my two prefered styles are Fashion and Landscapes such as nature.
Charlie Waite is a landscape photographer who loves the atmosphere from a beautiful landscape, his distinctive style combines graphic finesse with an almost spiritual quality of calm and serenity.
His pictures are eye catching and beautiful. They represent some feelings of coldness of sunlight, a sence of relax or tension.

This is one of Charlie Waites images which captures a gorgeous beach in England. The colour scheme here are very delicate, calm colours such as the sky is a lilac colour, the sea is a mixture between and rusty blue and grey. The rocks are close to the camera as they are the biggest thing out of the picture.
I also love the effect he’s created by the sky and sea as the sky takes up the top half of the image and the sea takes up the bottom half of the image therefore making our eyes lead towards the middle of the image and half way between the sea and sky, there is a triangular rock which can attract our attention.
This picture can be split into rows to show the image in different sections. This is the rule of thirds to help show how this would look split up and in more depth and detail.
The shot used is from a distance usually, the certain lenses zoom in to create effect. Different lenses give different effects to the image. The camera angle is a long shot, to capture the whole picture. The line of thirds is included here as the picture is as if it is on a symmetrical line making the image equal in all corners.
This image gives a relaxing feeling towards the viewers as it is a beach and it gives us the image of a sea breeze and the tide sounds.
Lanscape techniques include the wide range of materials we use to take amazing images. We have the nature around us and the scenery to create a distictive look. Even if it’s initial planning to finishing touches, a lovely landscape picture can be captured.
This shot is taken froma distant to get the full image in focus. This shows the whole landscape and all the features in it.
Charlie Waite has taken this picture with a photographic lens to be able to zoom in and zoom out, in this picture he has taken this shot, straight ahead.
Julia Kennedy is an amazing fashion photographer who expresses her emotions through fashion. Her images capture the extraordinary clothes that the models wear. The models also have a shocking expression on their faces to represent that what they are wearing is unique.

This image is quite colourless apart from the clothes she is wearing as they are bright colours. That immediately catches our eye this image, you see black and white stripes which make her hair and clothes stand out from the background. Her face is drawn to stand out by the thickness of her makeup around her eyes therefore showing the expression on her face.
This image can represent an emotion where she wants to be different, stand out and represent a serious look and bright clothes.
The fashion pictures use special techniques which include the model posing, the background setting and the special lighting.
This shot is at eye level but she is looking down to the camera, she is also slightly sideways and her arm is shown to the camera and the other one is not. this shows she is not direct, yet she is not off-guard.
The shots are quite close up for fashion photography because this helps us see their emotion and facial expressions. The lenses are used to be clear to show detail. The lenses can be changed in many ways for fashion, possibly blurred to give effect on certain purposes.
Charlie Waite and Julia Kennedy both take interesting images but of completely different things. Charlie Waite Captures a feeling with his images and he makes people have an insight to what he wants the people to see in the photo. As of, Julia Kennedy captures emotion and she shows that people are unique in the clothes they wear. She shows that outstanding clothes and makeup can bring out someone different in yourself. They both have their views on their images and show them in their style.

A good start Tasmin – good choices and a certain understanding of styles of photography. For a higher grade I will need more use of photographic terminology such as lenses and depth-of-field and camera angles/lenses. Also the contextual work is not strong and explicit. P1
