During the week 2 workshop, I learned about the different types of photography. As I have never been taught anything photography related before. This was all new to me and I had never even considered the different styles of photography prior to the workshop.
One of the styles we were taught about was sports photography and as this style of photography will make up elements of my project, I decided it would be appropriate to do my research task on sports photography.
We were given this task to do before the week 3 workshop and during my research I found tips that were helpful and are things I need to consider when taking photos for my project.
However, sports photography will not be the only genre implemented in my project. As my plan is also to include headshots of people, perhaps these may take a more ‘documentary’ style approach.
This one of the styles I was first introduced to in this workshop so despite it not being a task for us, I may need to conduct some sperate independent research into this area and get feedback from my tutors on any documentary style photo I take. This will go alongside me continuing to develop my understanding of sports photography too.
