Photography is an art form like drawing and painting. Photographers use their camera to make us see life in a different way, feel emotions,
and record stories and events.
Three Basic Styles of Photography
1. Landscape
2. Portrait
3. Documentary
Landscape is a photograph of the environment. It could be the forest, mountains, oceans, or your backyard. Ansel Adams is a famous
landscape photographer.
Landscape photography is a photograph of the outdoors.
Portrait photography is a photo of a person or animal. It is important to show an emotion
Documentary photography presents facts without changing anything. Good documentary photographs make you wonder what the story is
behind the photograph
Documentary Photography tells a story without changing the facts. Can be landscape or portrait. Remember that a good documentary
photograph makes you wonder what the story is behind the picture!

from top or bottom
