Specialisations

All specialisations

Twenty-two photography specialisations, each with its own selection of tools — from portrait and wedding to landscape, sports and macro.

Portrait Photography

Light, depth of field and posing for portraits on location or in the studio.

Light is the foundation of portrait photography. The light modifiers guide explains each accessory in practical terms: when to use a softbox, beauty dish, umbrella or snoot, and what the light will look like. The flash guide number calculator works out the correct flash power at any distance.

Family Photography

Plan, pose and collaborate on relaxed family photos.

Family photography looks simple until you're standing in a field with two adults, three kids and a dog. Preparation makes the difference between a shoot that runs and a shoot that everyone is done with after fifteen minutes. The session prep tool helps you create a briefing to send the family in advance: what to wear (coordinated, not identical), when the kids are most alert and fed, and which location or background they prefer. The expectations guide covers what they can expect from you in terms of duration, image count and delivery.

Newborn Photography

Preparation, safe posing and soft light for newborns.

Newborn photography is built on patience, hygiene and safety. A baby in the first two weeks sleeps an average of sixteen to eighteen hours a day, but every shoot is different. The session prep tool helps you create a clear briefing for the parents: what to bring, how warm the room should be (around 24-26°C), when to feed the baby and what they should wear themselves. The expectations guide sets clear expectations about mood, timing and image count in advance, so nothing is a surprise on the day.

Corporate Photography

Corporate portraits, briefings and planning for commercial shoots.

Corporate photography covers everything businesses need: headshots, office atmosphere shots, production photography, event coverage and imagery for annual reports, brochures, websites and LinkedIn. The client buys a visual identity that fits their brand, not a single image. That requires a professional workflow from briefing to delivery, and clear agreements about rights and usage.

Wedding Photography

Timeline, model release and golden hour for the entire wedding day.

A wedding is one day you cannot redo. The shot list maker gives you a complete list of every shot you want to capture. The call sheet maker builds a professional timeline with names, locations and timings. The shoot checklist ensures you leave nothing behind.

Street Photography

Daily prompts, focal length and street-photo vocabulary.

Street photography is about decisive moments. You rarely get a second chance: the light is right, the composition works, and a second later the scene is gone. Preparation makes the difference. The exposure triangle shows exactly how aperture, shutter speed and ISO interact, the relationships you need to master to react quickly. For zone focusing, the depth of field calculator shows exactly how much is sharp at a given focal length, aperture and subject distance. The camera settings advisor gives you a concrete starting point for each situation.

Landscape Photography

Golden hour, ND filters and hyperfocal distance for sharp vistas.

Few factors matter more in landscape photography than the time of day. The golden hour planner shows exactly when golden hour and blue hour begin and end for any location and date. Combine it with the location log to save your best spots with notes on light direction and season.

Travel Photography

Location planning, lightweight gear and a fast workflow on the road.

When travelling, you often get one chance at a location. The golden hour planner shows exactly when golden hour and blue hour begin for any location and date. The location log saves your finds with notes and coordinates so you can share them or return.

Sports Photography

Fast shutter speeds, focal length and timing for action.

Sports photography is about freezing movement or conveying speed. The exposure triangle shows how shutter speed, aperture and ISO interact. The camera settings advisor gives concrete starting values for action and sports situations.

Nature Photography

Long focal lengths, depth of field and patience for wildlife and plants.

Wildlife and nature photography is all about timing. Animals are most active at dawn and dusk, and the light is most flattering at those moments. The golden hour planner shows exactly when those windows open for your location and date. The light meter helps you quickly assess scene brightness without extra gear.

Macro Photography

Magnification, focus stacking and light for the close-up.

Macro photography starts and ends with depth of field. At 1:1 on a 100mm lens, the sharp zone at f/8 is barely a millimetre. The depth of field calculator shows exactly how much is sharp for any combination of focal length, aperture and focus distance. Use it to decide whether you can get away with a single shot or whether focus stacking is unavoidable.

Product Photography

Studio lighting, depth of field and consistent exposure for products.

The depth of field calculator shows exactly how much of a product is sharp at any combination of focal length, aperture and distance. Whether you want everything sharp or intentional background blur for depth, the calculator gives you a precise answer before you shoot.

Studio Photography

Light setups, flash calculation and modifiers for full studio control.

The light modifiers guide explains every accessory: when to use a large softbox for soft even light, a reflector for fill, a grid for directional accents. The flash guide number calculator gives you the right power at any distance, no re-testing after every move.

Architecture Photography

Lines, depth of field and perspective for buildings and interiors.

Architecture photography is more than technical documentation. The way light falls on a facade during golden hour, or the glow of an interior at blue hour, is what makes a shot memorable. The golden hour planner shows exactly when those windows open for any location and date. Plan your scouting and shooting visits around that information.

Documentary Photography

Documentary shooting with quick camera settings and a neutral style.

Documentary photography demands technical control in changing conditions. The exposure triangle keeps core relationships clear. The camera settings advisor gives a starting point for any situation. The light meter gives a quick brightness reference on location.

Fashion Photography

Light, posing and moodboards for fashion shoots on location or in studio.

Fashion is about colour and proportion, and a mismatch between a model's colour type and their outfit shows immediately in the final image. The colour analysis tool determines your model's seasonal colour type and the shades that suit them best. It is useful input for the styling brief before the shoot, and a quick reference on set when someone is choosing between two outfits. Use the pose card as a starting point during the shoot: sixteen proven poses you can adapt to the concept.

Freelance Photographer

Rates, model release and business planning for independent photographers.

The price calculator helps you build a fair rate that covers your hourly wage, travel time, equipment costs and profit margin. It gives you a confident, well-reasoned price to present to clients.

Beginners

Exposure triangle, focal length and photo thesaurus to ramp up fast.

The exposure triangle visualiser shows interactively what happens when you change shutter speed, aperture or ISO. Understanding these three is the foundation of photography.

Photo Shoot Preparation

Call sheet, shot list, pose card and model release for a well-prepared shoot.

A good shoot starts with clear expectations on both sides. The expectations guide helps you communicate everything your client needs to know: workflow, delivery time, what is and isn't included. The price calculator helps you build a quote based on time, costs and margin.

Event Photography

Schedule, shot list and rates for conferences, festivals, corporate parties and anniversaries.

An event photographer captures what happens at a conference, corporate party, opening, festival, anniversary, sports event or cultural gathering. The client wants two things: documentation of what happened, and imagery they can use for marketing. That means both atmospheric shots and targeted photos of speakers, sponsors, attendees and the programme. Unlike a portrait or wedding shoot, you usually work alone and without direction. You need to switch quickly, handle changing light and know which moments matter.

School Photography

Planning, model release for minors and rates for portraits, class photos and sports days.

School photography is about volume, planning and trust. In a single morning you often shoot 200 to 400 students, plus class groups, siblings, and sometimes a staff portrait. The work falls into three rough categories: annual portraits and class photos at primary and secondary schools, sports days and school trips with more reportage, and yearbook or graduation portraits with more room for individual style. Beyond the image itself you sell schools a logistics system: timely delivery, a reliable ordering module and clear agreements with the school.

Documentary Photography

Tools for long-form personal projects: artist statement, model release, black-and-white preview and photobook preparation.

Documentary photography is long-form, personally driven work around a subject you want to understand or make visible: a community, a social issue, a changing landscape, your own life. Unlike reportage, which usually documents an event on commission and at short notice, documentary work develops over months or years. The images form a story together, often presented in a photobook, exhibition or long-form publication. Your relationship with the people you photograph is more intensive and continues beyond the shoot itself. Your work is judged on the coherence of the series, not on the single image.
