KTA 2:
The 5 styles of Photography I have chosen to research are Landscape Photography, Architectural Photography, AstroPhotography, Documentary Photography and Portrait Photography.
It may be categorised as a particular orientation of a photo, but predominately it is a genre which intends to showcase different open spaces within the world, whether they are natural scape's or urban regions, macro or micro scale. They are defined as having little to no influence of human activity with the purpose of featuring subjects such as landforms and weather formations.

Michael Kenna
Born in 1953, this British born photographer is best known for his black and white landscapes, unusual in form while utilising ethereal light sources by photographing at dawn or at night using exposures of up to 10 hours. This techniques creates amazing atmosphere and gives focus to the still-standing structures in his photos; for example in the picture below titled "Copse and Clouds".Architectural Photography
Architectural photography is the photographing of buildings and similar structures that are both aesthetically pleasing and accurate representations of their subjects. Architectural photographers, are usually skilled in the use of specialised techniques, angles and equipment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:JM_EstorilSol_008.jpg
Iwaan Baan
Iwan Baan (born February 8, 1975) is a Dutch architectural photgrapher. He has challenged a long-standing tradition of depicting buildings as isolated and static by representing people in architecture and showing the building's environment; in this picture to the right some of the themes are very apparent.
What is AstroPhotography?
A: a specialized type of photography that entails recording images of astronomical objects and large areas of the night sky. The first ever photograph of an astronomical object , the moon was taken in 1840, but it was not until the late 19th century that advances in technology allowed for detailed stellar photography. Astrophotography also has the ability to capture objects invisible to the human eye such as dim stars, nebulae and galaxies. In professional astronomical research, this photography revolutionized the field.Sport Photography: Bob Martin
A multi-award winning sports photographer; during a career spanning the last 30 years he has photographed every major sporting event from the last 13 Summer and Winter Olympics, to Elephant Polo and Horse Racing on Ice. By utilising crucial angles, highlighting motion through focusing and high exposure and use of scale to denote challenge faced by world-class athletes combines to form fantastic imagery.
