Fashion photography:
The first format of photography that I looked into was fashion, as you can see to the right i have tried to recreate a photo of a model from a picture taken by a photographer called Ben Hassett. Although the image isn't identical they are very similar. as you can see in the original image below there is a small patch of shadow in the lower right corner of the image, you can see the in my recreation of the photo that a similar shadow has been created again in the lower right of the photo. There is also shadow on the left side of both images with the light coming in from the right. Whilst Hassett used a studio and a key light, i used natural light from a window and placed my model against a white background. My image is well in focus however if i was to do this again i would slightly change the position of my models arms to match Hassetts model and i would retake the image in a studio with a key light to create more contrast in the image. In addition to this i would also make my version of the image black and white. 
Landscape photography:
I didn't do an exact replica of another photographers work for my secondary research on landscape instead i looked at what it takes to get a good landscape image. My image was taken in a "daylight" setting of white balance to get a good lighting and colour. The photo was taken from a window near the top of my college building. This helped me get an inters testing angle and the trees on the right hand side make the image look mysterious as if hiding something in the photo.
Advertising photography:
For this photo I took a photograph of a bus, I feel like this would be a good photo to advertise the stagecoach buses. The image is well in focus and pulls in all the colours well. I used a very high shutter speed on this image so that even though the bus moved, the image looked still and you can clearly see the photo. I took the image at mid day therefore I set my white balance to 'daytime' so that the lighting in my photo would be good and all the colours would be clear.
photo journalism is the same as documentary photography, for my primary research I decided that I would look for something that we see in everyday life that we don't often pick up on. Here I have taken a picture of a young girl smoking a cigarette in central Manchester, just like the image above I took my photo at mid day so used a daylight setting of white balance to make the colours true to the camera. the girl is wearing mostly neutral colours however is stood against a brightly coloured door therefore making her stand out. To get the photo I wanted i took several images whist the cigarette was being smoked so I could capture the moment realistically, the photo wasn't staged therefore shows the realism of under aged smokers.
