lenses; focal length/ angle of view/ sensor size

# data[].attributes.body
lenses are named by their focal length, the distance between glass elements inside the lens barrel, and the sensor or film plane (where light is recorded) the distance is measured in mm. different focal length lenses will produce different angles of view. the longer the focal length the more narrow the angle of view, and the shorter the focal length the wider the angle of view. increased focal length also changes the perspective of a scene. with wider lenses (short focal length) objects near the lens will appear much bigger than the objects further away from lens.
sensor size can vary massively depending on the make and model of the camera, sensor size also impacts on the field of view through the lens. sensor size also has an impact on the ISO sensitivity with how well it responds to light, this is more noticeable in lower light conditions. photographs taken with small sensors such as a phone will have more noise than photographs taken will larger sensors. Noise in photographs can also be affected by the ISO setting on the camera. larger sensors have a higher density of megapixels which gives them greater capacity to react or respond to light. having a high ISO on a large sensor will produce less noise than the same ISO on the smaller sensor size. when working with close up lenses such as a macro lens they will have a shorter focal length, this allows them to focus on objects in great detail that are near the lens which other lenses are less capable of. photography made with macro lenses allows for you to get really close outcomes of the textures of the subject.

what is it all about?
how you fill the frame
what you choose to include as well as what not to include
angle of view
focus and clarity of the image and what is in it
landscape/portrait
leading lines
the angle of the camera view will produce a different effect/perspective. different depths of field will direct the audiences eye towards the subject of your photograph, as that will be the main part in focus so it happens automatically. the difference between camera orientation is all about the way the photograph is taken which is either landscape or portrait. frame, cropping and content insists of zooming in and out depending on how much you are wanting in the photograph and which parts you want. zooming out gives you a wide angle photograph. changing the focal length of the lens changes the image perspective and alters the depth of field. wide angle photography can be unflattering and it can also make an image look unnatural, it all depends on what you're trying to achieve to decide whether this is good or not.
The rule of thirds
for portraits the eyes should mostly be around one third from the top of the frame
Leading lines
leading lines in a photograph should lead your eyes into the image

reflection
slow shutter
shadow/light
silhouette
unusual angle
unusual cropping
closeup of body part
double exposure
concealing face, using objects, own body to conceal your face, shoot through a material over your lens such as vaseline on clingfilm
obscure the photographs during the edit
what i will need:
camera
tripod
remote trigger
mirror
window
light
mask
cellophane/cling film/ vaseline
cardboard or paper

self portraits are a complex type of portrait as the artist and the model are the same person and the photograph becomes autobiographical. a self portrait can be abstract or symbolic depiction of themselves. self imagery can be as varied as you want it to be and can be more than just a mirror reflection, you can make them a collection and as abstract as you like showing as much as your personality as well as.
what is the difference between selfie and self portrait?
Portraits capture the outer layer seen by the photographer, and sometimes the outer layer reveals something of what is underneath.
purposes of a self portrait:
to talk about identity
to reveal something about yourself
to conceal something about yourself
to portray an imaginary identity
to play with stereotypes
to provoke discussion about gender, class, sexuality, politics, and more.
some self portraits can obscure identity or wear an alternate personalities.
selfies are pictures taken by yourself on technology like phones, this is very popular in todays generation and is very popular on social media, most selfies you can see the arm of the person taking the photo. selfies are also usually of the person posing in ways to look 'perfect'.

what is the difference between a selfie and a self portrait?
self portraits are photographs capturing a picture of the person normally taking the photographs but are also taken by the photographer but from afar. what might be the purpose of a self portrait?
-to talk about identity
-to reveal something about yourself
-to conceal something about yourself
-to portray an imaginary identity
-to play with stereotypes
-to provoke discussion about gender, class, sexuality, politics, and more

modules:
-library
-develop
-map
-book
-slideshow
-print
-web
library- importing images, viewing images, making your selection, exporting images, quick collection.
develop- this is your editing mode
start in library then go to develop to edit then return to the library to export
develop mode
-crop
-exposure/contrast
-highlights/shadows
-colour temp
-white balance
-lens corrections
-colour
-clarity/sharpening
-grain/dehaze
you can create your own presets from them, meaning you can save a list of commands that alters the image in a certain way, this is then creating a filter. Just like instagram filters as that basically means fancy presets.
once adjustments are made return back to develop mode to export your final outcome.

Sally Mann is an American photographer heavily working with large scale photography, mostly in black and white. after reviewing and analysing her work i've also seen that she works with a variety of depths of field, she doesn't stick to one genre of photography however people are a main subject within her work whether that be portraiture, or closeups of body parts where there isn't one definite focal point.

After looking through Tom Martins work i have noticed most of his photography is based on portraits exploring all different age groups and expressing different personalities and interests within this. Tom also likes to vary the field of depth making each picture have a different focal point

Apertures, Shutter speeds and ISO
Exposure is a method allowing the right amount of light into a photograph and this can be controlled by changing the aperture setting, no matter if the photograph is already too light or too dark. There are three elements to exposure, these three elements have been labelled as an exposure triangle so it can easily be remembered.
All three elements are effected by each other and they have to all be used in the process. Using a camera light meter will help you achieve the correct exposure as it will give an accurate reading of how much light is already in the photograph, helping you find out if your image is already too exposed or under exposed. The exposure triangle has other functions, the camera also records focus and movement, all of the information can be seen through the viewfinder.

ISO
ISO controls the camera sensitivity to light and this can be changed to suit any situation. The higher the ISO the more sensitive to light the camera will be. A lot of cameras have the following ISO numbers:
100-200-400-800-1600-3200
high ISO settings that are usually 800+ are more useful in low light conditions and low ISO such as 100-400 are useful in light conditions.
The higher the ISO the worse the quality is of your photograph, which means the photograph may look grainy.

Aperture
Aperture controls whether the image is over or under exposed correctly, aperture also controls the depth of field, how much of the image is in focus. the aperture is controlled by the contracting and expanding of the iris in the lens.

Shutter Speed
Shutter Speed controls how much light comes into the camera. its other purpose is to control movement in the picture. When you change the aperture settings you must also set the shutter speed.

All three elements of the exposure triangle combine to record light, movement, and focus, if all of the elements are understood this allows the photographer to have full control of the image, allowing them to create the desired outcome.

Depth of Field shows a main focus of the photograph telling you where to look when handed a photo.
