ABSTRACT

Indoor architectural photography frequently involves lighting problems that the view camera copes with especially well. A surprisingly large proportion of photographic work consists of making reproductions of two-dimensional subjects. The most widely used application of photocopying is to obtain multiple images that can be viewed independently by two or more people. As with portraiture, the relatively weak perspective obtained with longer focal length lenses at longer distances produces a natural appearance and is considered desirable in catalog photography. The photographer has little control over many problems involved in landscape photography. Portraits, for example, are used not only for personal purposes but also in such areas as advertising photography, editorial photography, photojournalism, and theatrical photography. Technical photography is a broad field that includes many different types of pictures and uses, but the use of technical photographic equipment or processes to obtain information that could not be obtained with conventional photography are appropriate examples.
