a form of photography that captures and reproduces images in color
a photographic technique where chemicals are applied and manually manipulated on a photo-sensitive surface to create abstract images
the process of capturing and storing images using electronic sensors and processing them with digital software rather than traditional photographic film and darkroom techniques
a style of photography that intentionally creates images with a low-quality aesthetic, often using low-end cameras, expired film, or alternative processing techniques
a form of lo-fi photography that emphasizes spontaneity, experimentation, and the use of low-end cameras, often resulting in images with a distinct, vibrant, and sometimes unpredictable aesthetic
the practice of capturing and reproducing images with a single color or shades of a single color, typically black and white or grayscale
a technique that captures a wide and elongated view of a scene by combining multiple images into a single panoramic image, providing an immersive and expansive visual experience
a technique used to create a three-dimensional illusion in by presenting two slightly offset images of the same scene to the left and right eyes
an artificial environment generated by a computer that makes the user think what they are seeing or hearing is real, by using a special headphone and a helmet that displays the generated environment
a dry photocopying process that uses electrostatic charges to transfer toner particles onto a surface to create a printed image
a type of photographic print mounted on a stiff board measuring 4.25 x 6.5 inches, which was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for creating formal portraits
a technique that involves using a digital camera or smartphone camera to take photos or videos through a spotting scope or other type of telescope, allowing for long-range observation and photography of wildlife, landscapes, and other subjects
a type of photography that involves capturing images of very small objects or details at a high magnification, often using specialized microscopes, cameras, or lenses
the scientific measurement of light in terms of its intensity, color, and other properties
a device used to view two separate images, usually photographs, in a way that creates the illusion of a single three-dimensional image
a technique that involves mounting a camera or smartphone over the eyepiece of a telescope, binoculars, or other optical instrument to capture images of distant objects
a technique that captures motion or movement in a still image, often using long exposure times, panning, or other techniques to create a sense of dynamic energy or action
a technique that involves using a kite to lift a camera into the air to capture aerial photographs from a high vantage point
a photographic technique that involves moving a light source, such as a flashlight or a sparkler, during a long exposure to create patterns, shapes, and other designs in the resulting image
a technique that involves capturing close-up images of small objects or details at a high magnification, often using specialized lenses or equipment to reveal intricate textures, patterns, and colors that are not visible to the naked eye
a technique that involves using selective focus and distortion to create the illusion of a miniature or toy-like scene, often using a special lens or post-processing software to manipulate the perspective and depth of field
a technique that simulates a miniature scene by selectively blurring parts of a photo while keeping other parts in sharp focus
a photographic technique that involves following a moving subject with a camera while using a slower shutter speed, resulting in a sharp subject against a blurred background that conveys a sense of motion and speed
a photographic image created without a camera by placing objects directly onto a photosensitive paper or film and exposing it to light to produce a unique and abstract silhouette-like image
the practice of taking a photograph of a specific location or scene at two or more different points in time, often to document changes and differences that have occurred over time
a technique that involves photographing large or elongated objects by unrolling them in a controlled manner while capturing a series of overlapping images to create a high-resolution digital image of the entire object
a photographic technique that involves briefly exposing a partially developed photographic image to a brief burst of light, resulting in a reversal of tones and a unique and surreal appearance
a term used in photography that refers to the act of reducing the size of the aperture in a camera lens, resulting in a larger depth of field and less light entering the camera
a technique that involves capturing a series of still images at set intervals over a period of time and then combining them into a video, allowing for the acceleration of time and the visualization of slow or gradual changes
(of a motion picture, photograph, etc.) showing only black, white, and gray colors
a technique used to colorize black and white images or to enhance the color contrast in color images by assigning false colors to different shades or values of gray
