6 Categories
Modes of Transport
Capture any kind of transport from a bicycle to a train in motion, capture a windsurfer, planes, cars, boats or a scooter.
Just one Object
Shooting a single object can allow you to explore different viewpoints, compositions or lighting on one particular object. Note that whilst more than one object might appear in the image, for example in the background, the clear main focus of the image should be one single object, and no other examples of that particular object should be visible in the frame.
Portraits
Portrait photography is all about the face. A photographer’s goal is to take a carefully crafted photograph of a person’s distinguishing facial features while capturing the person’s attitude, identity, and personality. The photo may include a blurred background and the person’s body.
Landscape
Landscape photography is very broad - land or sea, urban or nature, big or small. It’s capturing an image that embodies the spirit of the outdoors.
Macro
Get up close and personal with your subject. Macro photography is usually associated with images of bugs and flowers, but even subjects like snowflakes or water droplets in the studio can make for amazing macro photos.
Animals
The animal world is full of amazing photo opportunities. The animal can be part of a larger scene, however the animal should be the key subject.
