Fantasy photography is a genre that uses photographic techniques to create images that evoke a sense of wonder and imagination, often depicting fantastical or magical elements and worlds. It's less about capturing reality and more about building alternate realities and storytelling through visuals. This can involve creating surreal scenes, using special effects, and manipulating images in post-production to achieve a dreamlike or fantastical effect.

Suprematism in photography, while not a direct photographic movement, refers to applying the principles of the abstract art movement, founded by Kazimir Malevich, to photographic compositions, focusing on geometric forms, limited color palettes, and the supremacy of pure feeling or perception over representational accuracy.

When taking photographs to 'open up' or 'opening up' refers to the practice of allowing more light to be recorded by a photographic medium for example a camera film or sensor. Opening up can be done in one of two ways; By selecting a larger aperture setting on a lens, or setting a longer exposure time on a camera.

# data[].attributes.body
In photography, stopping down refers to increasing the numerical f-stop number (for example, going from f/2 to f/4), which decreases the size (diameter) of the aperture of a lens, resulting in reducing the amount of light entering the iris of a lens. Increasing f-stop decreases the aperture of a lens.

Much like what it describes, the word “duotone” has two parts: “duo,” meaning double, and “tone,” meaning color. In photography, toning is the process of recoloring grayscale images, and duo-toning describes doing so with two colors—replacing the darks with one and the lights with another.

A circular polarizer is designed to do one thing: remove or control reflections from surfaces like water, glass, paint, leaves, sky, buildings, streets, and the list goes on. When light hits those surfaces they create glare that increases highlights, reduces color and detail.

Pulling film: In contrast to pushing, pulling film involves intentionally overexposing it and then compensating for the overexposure during development. This technique decreases the effective ISO of the film. The image appears darker, with reduced contrast and potentially finer grain.

# data[].attributes.body
Pushing film will both increase the film grain, making it more noticeable, and will add more contrast to your photos. In fact, many people push black and white films solely to get more contrast out of certain film stocks.

A reflected light meter averages the light to produce an average exposure value, rendering the subjects placed before the camera as 18 percent gray. Whether the composition is primarily dark or light, the meter's reading will produce an average value resulting in a grey or middle value image.

# data[].attributes.body
An incident meter (sometimes called a bulb-meter) works by reading the intensity of the light that falls onto the subject, as opposed to reading the light reflected off of the subject as the reflective meter does. Usually, you take the reading from the position of the subject.

The basic rule is, "On a sunny day set aperture to f/16 and shutter speed to the [reciprocal of the] ISO film speed [or ISO setting] for a subject in direct sunlight." In simplest terms, bright sun = f:16 @ 1/film-speed-number (aperture and shutter speed, respectively).

Focus stacking is a technique that allows photographers to create a single image where objects on various focal planes are all in focus. Focus stacking, also called photo stacking or focus layering, can create the effect of a deeper depth of field without any loss of clarity or sharpness.

Diffraction is an optical effect that occurs when light waves bend and interfere with each other as they pass through a small opening, like a camera's aperture. This can make photos appear less sharp and can limit the resolution of the image.

Hard light is a direct source of light that's focused on the subject. It could be light from the sun, a continuous light, or a flash. Because hard light is so strong and directional, it creates strong shadows that are crisp and well-defined. Hard light is great for creating dramatic images with lots of contrast.

Low-key lighting is a type of lighting style used in photography, film, and television that accentuates shadows, high contrast, and dark tones. The visual aesthetic of low-key lighting is usually achieved by using hard sources or key lights with minimal to no fill light.

# data[].attributes.body
High-key lighting reduces the lighting ratio in the scene, meaning there's less contrast between the darker tones and the brighter areas. Alternatively, low-key lighting has greater contrast between the dark and light areas of the image with a majority of the scene in shadow.

Clamshell lighting is a popular lighting technique in portrait photography that involves using two lights or a light and a reflector to create a soft, flattering light on your subject's face. The name comes from the fact that the two lights resemble the shape of a clamshell when set up correctly.

Lighting ratio in photography refers to the comparison of key light (the main source of light from which shadows fall) to the total fill light (the light that fills in the shadow areas). The higher the lighting ratio, the higher the contrast of the image; the lower the ratio, the lower the contrast.

Subtractive lighting is just what the names implies: removing light or, in essence, creating shadows to achieve a more dimensional portrait.

It refers to the relative warmth or coolness of light emitted by a light source, which in turn determines how colors appear in photographs. Color temperature is measured in degrees Kelvin (K), with lower values representing warm colors (yellow, orange), and higher values representing cool colors (blue, white).
