Master technique post

High key portraiture- A modern lighting technique with an absence of deep shadows based around the use of mid-tones such as greys and bright whites. The use of bright lighting and lack of shadows create a low element of contrast in the image.

Multiple exposure- In photography and cinematography, a multiple exposure is the superimposition of two or more exposures to create a single image, and double exposure has a corresponding meaning in respect of two images. The exposure values may or may not be identical to each other.

Multiple flash- A camera which implements multiple flashes and an be used to find depth edges or create stylised images. This technique is similar to slow sync flash.

Slow sync- Slow sync flash is just another term for using your flash with a slow shutter speed. It helps you keep your subject sharp while capturing motion or a dark background.

Blur- Motion blur is the apparent streaking of rapidly moving objects in a still image or a sequence of images such as a movie or animation. It results when the image being recorded changes during the recording of a single exposure, either due to rapid movement or long exposure.

Location portraiture- A portrait of a person or group of people taken on location (out of the studio).

Focal length- the distance between the centre of a lens or the curved mirror and its focus.

Animation- creating the illusion of movement by using editing software to place images in sequence to create a video clip or GIF.

Sequence- A single image which captures an event from it's start to it's finish by compiling several images.

Macro- A form of photography which provides large amounts of detail at a close range as well as making an object appear larger than life.

Wide angle close up- an image taken with a wide angle lens with a focal length approximately 18 or lower which creates a wider image plane.
