Chapter 2 - Fashion Photography

Question 1

Mention the different Camera categories

Answer 1

1. Small format lens (35mm SLR –single lens reflex):
   -The lens on the small format camera open wider than other wider formats, so they can more easily capture movement. And therefore produce more spontaneous work in lower light situations.
   These are least expensive of the categories.
2. Medium format:
   For photographers and clients who need a higher quality film or digital image, but without the bulk of large format, this format is the solution.
3. Large format:
   Large format cameras have a very good image quality and a lot of controls at your finger tips to control the perspective etc, but the cost of the camera and its accessories like lenses is very high.
