Candid Photography

Candid photography is best described as un-posed and unplanned, immediate and unobtrusive. This is in contrast to classic photography, which includes aspects such as carefully staged portrait photography, landscape photography or object photography. Candid photography catches moments of life from immersion in it.

I chose Wedding Photography as the first type of photography. Different photographers use different styles ranging from the old set up shots to new modern and artistic approaches.














The second i chose was underwater photography. Underwater photography is a way to get a very artistic approach at a subject. it is becoming more common for cameras to have underwater housing such as the common go-pro

Underwater Photography


I chose Underwater Photography to research. Underwater photography is particularly diffucult because of all of the equipment needed. It is also difficult to capture a good picture when your subject is marine life, as they are pretty unpredictable. Another difficult aspect of underwater photography is getting the exposure right. It takes a lot of technique to balance the sunlight and flash to get a good picture.

Photography Terms


I chose Wildlife Photography to research. Wildlife photography is just taking pictures of wild animals. It may sound easy but it is actually a very crafty hobby. Wild animals are very hard to approach, and it is therefore pretty difficult to get a good picture. It also helps to have a general knowledge of the animal you are taking pictures of so you can predict their actions.
