Advantages of Studio Photography

Advantages 
Advantages to studio photography are that you can control the environment. You control the lighting, the equipment and the background. There will be no too dark shadows, squinting from sunlight, violent breezes messing hair styles. It will not be too hot or too cold and there will obviously be no rain an your model can change clothes more easily.

Disadvantages
The disadvantages to studio photography are space & location. Big groups of people can be difficult to set up in a small space. Pets can be frightened and intimidated by the dark room and may not be trained to deal with the limited space, especially if its only a few months old. Sometimes the client may have a specific location or idea that cannot be achieved in the studio. 

Outdoor Photography

Outdoor Photography

The advantage to outdoor photography is location. The studio can be almost anywhere. It is more convenient for large groups. You can move and pose easily which is good for families with active children. Objects such as cars, motor cycles, large pets or livestock can be worked with better outdoors. 

The disadvantage to outdoor photography is lack of control of your environment. Rain, snow, too many clouds, sun too bright, too windy. It all can cause problems with an outdoor Photo shoot.  You have to work quickly due to  changing conditions like weather, sun or other people at the location who can get in the way of the photo.

Research into Techniques


What is Experimental Photography?

There are a few different types of experimental photography. All involve using the realistic images given by film. This means using different process techniques. There are a few different genres of experimental photography:

• Photomontage
• Photograms
• Solarization
• Gum Prints
• Performance Art Photography
• Non Traditional Light Sources
• Non Traditional Cameras
• Transfer Printing Processes

Scanography

There are many different techniques for creating scanograms. Many scanographers have developed their own styles. Scanography is taking digitized images of objects for creating printable art using a photo scanner.

Emulsion Transfers 

Emulsion Transfers is when you take a photo, use PVA glue to cover the top layer of the photo. The next step is to wait until it is dry, and then gently peel of the layer of the photo which leaves you with an emulsion transfer which you can stick onto another photo or piece of paper.

Projection Photography

Projection Photography using a person, animal or object and using a projector to vibrate a colorful photo or print onto the persons body which creates a projection shot. Ensuring your projected colours are as bright and vibrant as possible will give you the best photo.

Double Exposures

Double Exposure is a photographic technique that combines 2 different images usually using a projector into a single image.
