Applications
The word art simply means to be 'beauty, texture, colour, print and design'
Examples:
I was unable to find any examples on the Unversity of Brighton Website, of the work I liked.
Also in the Bright Museum & Art Gallery which were a shame, because I really liked some of the work in both Galleries. I also do not remember any of there names - its disappointing because I would of loved to show you have amazing it was.
Conceptual Photography
is basically genre in which the artists makes a photograph of a concept or idea. Conceptual photography usually involves computer editing and the desired effect.
Today 2 galleries I really liked, I really liked the unversity one - I liked the detail to some of the photo's partically the black and white ones I thought they were far better then the colour photos. Reason for this is just I think black and white photo's look more tradional then those in colour. Some photo's today didn't mean that much, where others did. For example one of the landscape pictures in 'Fabrica' It was of a family of 3 looking happy ish. I thought it meant alot as it was a family and came across as well done. ' It was also in black and white'
No, none of them appear in different styles of photography.
Context
Art photograpghy basically contains many different things; such as texture, quaility, style, colour so many things. The surroundings can very aswell, some people look beyond the pictures meaning like if i was to take a photo of a lamp with some many different things in the background people would look beyond the lamp because they'd wanna see other things in this photo.
Techniques
The techniques are something that every photographer/artist use to get the style and look achivered within that photograph/painting. The artist sets out to portray an image he or she likes and uses in modern, abstract, contempoiary, vintage themes to achieve what is beauty to the eye. The tones of the picture very in many ways - for example: Distance, Sephia, Brush/Strokes, lightness and darkness - featured beyond the object in front of the audience.

Portraiture
Application
Portraiture photography is often used to expressive the likeness personality and even the mood of the photography. A portraiture photo is often not a snapshot, but used to created an image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the camera. Most of the photography try to capture an expression that werent on the camera, unlike in the 60's when the rich wants there expression to be shown on the camera so they'd pull a look on - instead of making it look natural.
Richard Avendon tends to do black and white photo's none really colour. His photo's show emotions and natural side of the people in them. None really look afticially done. Richards fashion and portrait photographs helped define America's image of style, beauty and culture for the last half-century.
Context
Portraiture is used in our everyday lives, companies often used portraiture to advertise on such as: Leaflet, posters, bulltinboards, newspapers, magazines one of the biggest use's of portraiture would be either magazines and the internet. I think some companies tend to use portraiture a bit more then landscape because if your publishing you poster or printed advert on paper in a magazine or online or a newpaper, it doesn't take up so much space compared to landscape. Which in some case's can take up the who 2 pages (In magazines, newspaper).
Money has the the queens head on it as well as bank notes. Business's use them to brand there products so people are aware it's from their company and no one else's.
Techniques
TEXTURE plays a big part.
If texture is a big part of your subject, make it stand out and make it obvious. Match up the textures between your subject and your background. You might even try texturizing the entire photo for additional impact.
In the begining of portraiture it was often used for the royal family, they got to pick the senerare of the photo, the clothing and jewerlly. They often wore alot of accessories such a gold more than silver, crowns etc. Anything that had a high price tag they'd wear - to show show people who were viewing the photo that that they had the power and the money also, to have an affect on the portrait. During the mid 60's photographer would just walk down an old street and try and capture an unquie portraiture image.

Introduction to Fashion Photograpghy
Applications
Fashion photograpghy has been around for a long time since 1830. It first appeared in a french magazine. it first got into grips in 1856 where Adolphe Braun published a book containing 288 photo's of Virginia Oldoini, Countess di Castiglione, a Tuscan noblewoman at the court of Napoleon III. The photos depict her in her official court garb, making her the first fashion model. Fashion photography is all about trying to sell a style to you not the clothing.
Toni Frissels photo's
I think Toni photo's are very old style, some are rather odd too. Like an odd one, Two nuns are walking through deep water - i think is image is very odd. Another thing I've noticed about Toni work is he liks taking pictures and adding the underwater look. Whether this pictures have been taken under water - with an underwater camera I don't know but the effect and texture of them are queit mind blowing.

Willy Maywaid
Willy Maywald grew up in Cleves and attended from 1928 to 1931, the Berlin school of art of the West ". Then he went to Paris, where he became independent in 1933 and offered his first work illustrated magazines. .
His photography is mostly in black and white - which is good because I think if a photo is in black white you see much more and its more attractive.
In this photo is: Lisa Fonssagrives. Source Google Images.
Here is an example of his work.
Ruth Harriet Louise
Ruth Harriet Louise (born Ruth Goldstein) (January 13, 1903 - 1940) was an American professional photographer, the first woman photographer active in Hollywood; she ran Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's portrait studio from 1925 to 1930. When Louise was hired by M.G.M. as chief portrait photographer in the summer of 1925, she was twenty-two years old, and the only woman working as a portrait photographer for the Hollywood studios. In a career that lasted only five years, Louise photographed all the stars, contract players, and many of the hopefuls who passed through the studio's front gates, including Greta Garbo, Lon Chaney, John Gilbert, Joan Crawford, Marion Davies, and Norma Shearer. It is estimated that she took more than 100,000 photos during her tenure at MGM. Today she is considered an equal with George Hurrell Sr. and other renowned glamour photographers of the era.

Techniques:
Fashion techniques are the way the fashion photography does things. Each fasion photography has their own techniques, maybe a few are the same but about 75% of the time there not. In fashion photo's are often maipulatized, they often do this for many different reason some can be to make the model look thinner, sexier, to make something bigger or smaller e.g. eyes, lips, nose. Anything they think looks out of place they will change and make it look better. A lot of work goes into fashion manipulation, it can take hours just to change that one image - not all images are but most of the time they are! -
Content
Fashion photography appears everywhere, e.g. magazines, newspapers, bus stops, the internet so many places! Fashion can obviously have a big impact on people, everyone follows fashion celebraitys and the normal avarge people. If a normal person on the street see's a celeb wearing a certain outfit, that person would want to buy it because they've seen someone famous wearing it. They think its fashionable. Fashion photography is used in our everyday lives, it doesn't have to be used in a top photo shoot. Can be used in just posing in pictures with friends but looking good and wearing the right outfit. Thats what fashion photography is.
