Probably one of the most widespread types of photography, landscape photography, in Romanian, landscape photography is one of the simplest but at the same time the most complex ways of expression in photographic art. Simple? Yes! because it's within everyone's reach, and if you wonder where the contradiction between simple and complicated comes from, well it all depends on the level at which you practice this art, the more professionally you approach it, the more you realize day by day that you don't know anything, and that it is a field with infinite development possibilities. Good luck!
Profiles
“Are we to paint what s on the face, what s inside the face, or what s behind it?”
Pablo Picasso
The portrait is the representation of a person by highlighting the real features as well as those that are likely to reflect his state of mind.
This art form first appeared in painting, sculpture, or in the form of a literary description, so that later, following the development of analog photographic techniques, it was registered as a genre in photographic art. What is worth mentioning is that this type of photography is difficult to obtain, contrary to appearances, because not every photograph that tends towards portraiture succeeds. Both in artistic manifestations preceding photography and in photography today we can identify artists who avoided the portrait precisely because of its complexity and the fact that it limits the creative possibilities of the artist, however, this is especially true in painting and other artistic manifestations and less so in the picture.
Action
“The most important thing you learn as an action photographer is anticipation - not where the action is taking place, but where it's going to take place. Not where the subject is now, but where they're going to be.”
Lawrence Schiller
Action photography is an activity full of anticipation, a long streak if you will. Practicing it, while it goes by you realize that you need chess thinking, I could say, you always have to be two, or three moves ahead of the subject. It is also an extraordinary way to observe the naturalness of the movements, which athletes not only, do without being aware, or thinking too much about it, everything is turned into automaticity. The laws of physics are what make possible everything related to photography and sports, when these two meet, sports photography or sports photography appears.
Macro
“... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
Aaron Siskind
Macro Photography (photomacrography or macrography, and sometimes macrophotography) is the photographic art that transforms the camera into a device that makes everything seem huge, starting from tiny creatures, flowers, textures, and all the details that pass, normally unnoticed. With the development of lenses and digital devices with interchangeable lenses, macro photography tends more toward micro photography, at first, it was possible to photograph only the details visible with the naked eye, but now is able to immortalize details beyond the human possibilities to see, reaching extraordinary results.
