Im in traditional photography and I need help on some thing I take pictures of. Ex: Social Commentary, injustice, architectural, nature, technology, action/motion?
I dont know what to take pictures of in those subjects.
Okay, well, social commentary are basically photos that say something about society. This could include photos that are used to speak out against war or racial inequality.
Inequality based on any type os discrimination would fall under the category of injustice.
Architectural is pretty self-explanatory. You would photographer architectural elements on buildings and other structures. Staircases are a popular subject for architectural photography.
Nature includes pretty much anything natural, as in not man-made. Animals, mountains, forestry, plants.
Technology I think is open to interpretation. For instance it would be a great juxtaposition to show in one image a high tech new car next to an old antique car.
You can freeze motion using a fast shutter speed. A good subject might be sports or kids playing. You can blur motion by using a slow shutter speed. a good subject is flowing water which will look smooth and creamy in the final image. You can also use panning which keeps the subject relatively sharp as you follow it with the camera but the background blurs so much it may be unrecognizable. A good subject would be a person on a bike.
Hope this helped. If you need more info or help setting up to shoot feel free to send me a message.
