Application
The word "art" is defined as "the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others."Other contemporary art photographers include Edwyrd Byrtynsky, David Graham and Sarah Pickering.
Conceptual Photography - Photography that turns a concept or idea into a photograph. Even though what is depicted in the photographs are real objects, the subject is strictly abstract.
The photographers included in some of the museums that we visited on Wednesday included some odd images of people at a house in the day but was actually night time on the bottom of the image. Another set of images were from the point of view of one of the photographers younger sisters. This form of photography is effective as it conveys different qualities for every picture. Some images fit under other forms of photography. A photographer took pictures of landscapes with different items covering his/her camera to create unusual effects.
Context
This form of art is traditionally used in galleries to display the work of talented photographers and their work. These works of photography are used mainly for this purpose. This has a major impact on art photography as well because these images have specific purposes and points and speak a lot about the photographers' work and personality. The surroundings of the art also reflects character and their work.
Technique
The pictures are printed on what appear to be ordinary sheets of paper, others are laminated. The photos associate themselves with other people as what's being taken is real life, even though some parts may be more abstract than others. This type of photography relys on carefully created backgrounds and features of people, however some images are taken of what appear to be people who are completely unchanged. Studios are used but not all the time; some pictures are taken in the country which couldn't be done with a set. Pictures from the Brighton picturing the show "The High Tide" show this type of photography.

Fashion Photography
Fashion Photography Introduction
Fashion photography was developed in the 1830s and was later developed in 1856 when Adolphe Braun published a book of 252 pictures of Tuscan noblewoman Oldoini who was then the first fashion model, ever.
Halftone printing also helped fashion photography by allowing it to be put into magazines. Developed in the 20th Century, this was a series of microscopic dots, printed with one ink colour to create an optical illusion of smooth tones.
Application
Fashion photography consists mainly of female models and is usually used to display items of clothing or accessories. The photography also sets unrealistic targets for the people reading it in the big fashion magazines today, such as Vogue, Marie Claire and Closer. Fashion Photography has been improved since; an example of this is the introduction of unusual, exotic locations in the 1940's. Richard Avedon, a fashion photographer, used his imagination to create unusual images in the world of fashion.
Context
Fashion photography is usually used to express what the true perception of beauty is such as the term "Size Zero" used by the press to show how unreal some photography can be. This is used all over the place, including billboards, catalogues and advertisements. Fashion photography can also be important in other ways. Magazines exaggerate the features of women in fashion photography and photos can be easily altered with modern technology such as Photoshop and other websites.
Techniques
Photographers use many techniques to photograph models. The preferred method is using the modern, digital camera as the images turn out more colourful and exposing. Models also wear the clothes so that parts of their bodies are exposed to show a target for wannabe ladies. Photos are also manipulated using modern software on computers and other devices to improve the qualities of the models; this can be used to increase or decrease the size of features, curve some areas of the body and erase impurities on the body, this makes the model appear more perfect than they actually are. One other way this form of photography is enhanced is by using an exotic or surreal enviornment. This makes the model stand out around the other parts of the photograph.
