Styles in Photography

Macro photography (or

photomacrography or
macrography, and sometimes
macrophotography), is extreme
close-up photography, usually of very
small subjects, in which the size of
the subject in the photograph is
greater than life size (though
macrophotography technically refers
to the art of making very large

 High-speed photography is the

science of taking pictures of very fast
phenomena. In 1948, the Society of
Motion Picture and Television
Engineers (SMPTE) defined highspeed photography as any set of
photographs captured by a camera
capable of 128 frames per second or
greater, and of at least three
consecutive frames.

 Perspective distortion
In photography and cinematography,
perspective distortion is a warping
or transformation of an object and its
surrounding area that differs
significantly from what the object
would look like with a normal focal
length, due to the relative scale of
nearby and distant features.

 Perspective distortion is determined

by the relative distances at which the
image is captured and viewed, and is
due to the angle of view of the image
(as captured) being either wider or
narrower than the angle of view at
which the image is viewed, hence the
apparent relative distances differing
from what is expected.
