ENVIRONMENTAL PORTRAITURE
This photograph is a good example of environmental portraiture because it shows someone who is in there everyday element where they spend a lot of time. It is a strong image overall because it shows a portrait by the subject not looking at the camera and posed.














DOCUMENTARY
This documentary photograph is a good example of its genre because it shows in depth what kind of area this phot o graph was taken and how the person lives (which is me), being out in the country vs. a city home. This photograph has a strong overall image because it really shows in detail a deeper meaning to a documentary photograph























DOCUMENTARY
This too is a good example of a documentary photograph in a different way then the other photograph. This photo shows an action of one of the office workers at southwestern and just one of the things that goes on throughout the day. This is a strong image overall because it shows an everyday action of someone in the school.



















STILL LIFE
This photograph is a good example of a still life photograph because it shows a random object that is used by many people. This image is strong overall because it shows the subject very clearly with a subtle rock textured background.

LANDSCAPE
This photograph is a good example of landscape because is focusing on the long white fence but shows all the scenery of the woods in the distance. This image is strong overall because it uses the rule of thirds using the fence trees and sky to divide it up.

Look Of A Photograph

1] Aperture- The aperture is an adjustable opening on the camera that limits the amount of light that is coming in.

2] Shutter- The shutter is a device on the camera that controls the amount of time a photograph is being exposed to light by opening and closing.

3] Burning and Dodging- Burning is allowing a longer exposure time by increasing amount of time the light is being shown on the photograph. You would do this to a lighter area on the photograph to make it darker and more detailed. Dodging is just the opposite, it is when you decrease the exposure time by making a darker area on your photograph lighter.

4] Under-Exposing- Under Exposing is when you expose a photograph for to short of time and not enough light is let in. If this occurs then the photograph will turn out very dark and may be hard to see the details.

5] Rembrandt Lighting- In Rembrandt lighting you create a triangle shape right below the eye of the person you are photographing. Also one side of the face is more lit from the on coming light while the other side is more shaded.



This photograph above shows an example of under-exposure. It shows under-exposure because the photo is too dark meaning its was exposed for too short of time and not enough light was let in. This could try to be fixed by dodging the photograph to make it lighter.
