Today, the world cannot exist without photographs. It is as much a necessity as it is an art form. Even with videos, photos remain irreplaceable everywhere.

Photography is a very fulfilling art form for many a people. There are different types of photography with their own specialties like landscape, portrait, fashion, wildlife, sports and many more. All these kinds of pictures have their own style and technique. The various types of photography make use of various techniques and the different types of photographer use their skill in their particular field of expertise. Every type of photography requires a separate set of skills and photography equipment (although some overlap).

Portrait Photography is the oldest kind. Before cameras were invented, there would be portrait paintings. These were and obviously remain significant as it allows people to forever keep a visual of a loved one and remember them by even after they are gone. The key is to capture a distinct emotion or a characteristic. It can range from shooting family members to friends to pets. It is often called portraiture and this type of photographer abounds.

Landscape Photography is for nature lovers. If a photographer is not interested in the subject, then the picture would lack honesty. Everything in the world can be associated with emotions and it is this emotion that tells a story, if a landscape picture, has a mood and gives a sense of a certain emotion, it is a good picture. This could only be done if the photographer primarily has the vision and the supportive equipments to capture nature.
