Contemporary examples of photography as: reportage, art, science, behind closed doors: domesticity, intimacy, pornography, paparazzi and snapshots.

-      Photography as reportage

·       Reportage is an example of journalism, these photos can sometimes be very brutal or in other words vivid images of death, motor accidents, animal slaughter or child abuse the examples are almost limitless. The picture that I found to explain this example of photography as you can see is a murder scene, as you will note that this image is vivid and there is no cover up no euphemism of any sort because this is news and we all have to know what is going on out there.

-      Photography as art

·       This example of photography may contain a lot of metaphoric symbolism or sometimes in a more serious sense it could mean exactly what it is. Like all art you have to keep an open mind because the art you see in front of you could mean anything you want it to its what you see in it that makes it art.

-     Photography as science

·       You can see science in everything you see around you even in photography the image I’m using as an example is a perfect in showing you what it looks like when you stop time this is where art and science meet. This proves that a small thing such as a drop of water falling into a puddle of water can be science and art.

 










Behind closed doors.

·       Domesticity means loving home this is an example of advertisement, people advertise their homes for, to rent out, to sell. These photos makes the home look good so certain lighting should be used to create a certain vibe.
