Landscape Photography
What is Landscape Photography? A brief definition
Landscape photography is a genre of photography that captures natural landscapes. While these landscapes may have people, animals or architecture present in the photos, the primary focus of the photograph must be natural scenery in order to be considered a landscape photograph. Subjects of these photographs include seascapes, mountain ranges, rivers, forests, and other natural landscapes.
Landscape photography does not include views of cities, as these are considered cityscapes. It also does not include close up photos of animals, as this is considered nature photography. Landscape photography does include some astrophotography when those photographs include mountain ranges or other natural horizon lines where the sky meet nature.
