Commercial photography
Which specialisation is primarily driven by client branding and product imagery?
Landscape photography
Commercial photography
Fashion photography
Astrophotography
What factor contributes most to market potential in wedding photography?
Casual shooting style
Seasonal demand and package pricing
Studio lighting only
Underwater shooting skills
In portrait photography, which demographic trend can increase demand?
Growth in corporate headshots for LinkedIn profiles
Decline in smartphone usage
Reduction of social media platforms
Rise of video streaming services
Commercial photography revenue is often maximised through:
Selling prints at art fairs
Licensing images to brands and agencies
Candid street captures
Personal travel albums
Documentary photographers typically rely on which of the following revenue streams?
Editorial assignments and grants
Stock photo websites only
Event photography bookings
Real estate shoots
Which specialisation often requires extensive post-processing for tone and colour consistency?
Documentary photography
Commercial photography
Street photography
Wildlife photography
High-end commercial photography often commands higher rates than standard wedding photography.
True
False
A wide aperture (e.g., f/1.8) primarily produces:
Deep depth of field
Shallow depth of field
Increased motion blur
Reduced lens speed
Increasing ISO sensitivity results in:
Lower image noise
Brighter exposures with potential noise
Smaller depth of field
Reduced shutter speed
A fast shutter speed (e.g., 1/2000 s) is best for:
Capturing motion blur
Freezing fast action
Long-exposure landscapes
Increasing ISO automatically
Depth of field is most strongly influenced by:
Shutter speed only
ISO setting only
Aperture size and focal length
White balance
To reduce motion blur when panning a moving subject, you should:
Slow down the shutter speed and move the camera with the subject
Increase ISO only
Use the smallest aperture
Remove the lens hood
A higher f-number (e.g., f/16) yields a smaller aperture opening.
True
False
Which lens characteristic also affects depth of field alongside aperture?
Focal length
Flash sync speed
Sensor temperature
Battery level
To achieve both a sharp foreground and background in a landscape portrait, you should use:
Wide aperture and slow shutter
Narrow aperture and appropriate ISO
High ISO only
Low ISO and fastest shutter
Which of the following is NOT a common video shooting error?
Unsteady camera movement
Incorrect focus pull
Excessive shutter angle
Optimal frame rate setting
Using an excessively slow shutter speed in video can cause:
Too much motion blur
Perfectly crisp footage
Increased depth of field
Reduced ISO sensitivity
Overexposure in video can be corrected entirely in post-production without quality loss.
True
False
Shooting from an unsafe angle while filming a moving motor rider poses the greatest risks.
Frame rate stability
Camera sensor damage
Camera shake and motion artefacts
Lens focal length changes
Which technique helps stabilise handheld video footage?
Increasing ISO
Using a tripod or gimbal
Switching to manual focus only
Decreasing resolution
Incorrect white balance in video results in:
Natural-looking colours
Colour casts that may look unnatural
Increased dynamic range
Sharper focus
A too-high frame rate (e.g., 120 fps for standard playback) without proper lighting may lead to:
Cinematic motion blur
Underexposed footage
Overheating the sensor
White balance shift
Ensuring accurate exposure in video primarily involves adjusting:
Aperture, shutter angle, and ISO
Focal length and composition
Colour profiles only
Lens zoom
In landscape photography, the foreground element is closest to:
The camera
The horizon
The background
The photographer’s origin
Which compositional rule enhances depth by positioning subjects along diagonal lines?
Rule of thirds
Leading lines
Golden ratio
Centred composition
Placing a strong subject in the midground can help balance foreground and background.
True
False
Including distinct background elements in a landscape shot primarily adds:
Texture
Sense of scale and context
ISO sensitivity
Flash reflection
Which aperture setting would you choose to achieve maximum depth of field?
f/2.8
f/8
f/22
f/1.4
Using a wide-angle lens in landscape photography generally:
Compresses depth
Expands perceived depth
Increases motion blur
Reduces the field of view
Foreground interest elements in nature photography could include:
Distant mountain peaks
Close-up flowers or rocks
Cloud formations
Sky only
Balancing foreground, midground, and background leads to:
Visual confusion
A layered sense of depth
Telephoto compression
Overexposed highlights
A handheld incident light meter measures:
Light reflected off the subject
Light falling on the subject
Ambient sound levels
White balance
Which camera setting is directly determined using a light meter’s reading?
White balance preset
Aperture, shutter speed, and ISO combination for correct exposure
Focal length
Lens mount type
A reflective light meter is not affected by the subject’s colour or reflectivity.
True
False
In a studio shoot, using a grey card with a light meter helps to:
Calibrate exposure and white balance
Adjust the focal length
Increase ISO sensitivity
Prevent lens flare
Which accessory diffuses harsh light and is commonly used in studios?
Reflector
Softbox
UV filter
Teleconverter
A DSLR camera’s built-in meter typically uses:
Spot metering only
Evaluative (matrix), centre-weighted, and spot metering modes
Only incident metering
No metering
To maintain consistent exposure across multiple shots in changing light conditions, you should:
Use manual settings and re-meter for each change
Keep the camera in auto mode
Rely on JPEG histograms
Frequently reset the camera firmware
Using a light meter to set exposure ensures:
Creative underexposure only
Accurate and consistent exposure baseline
Automatic focus adjustments
Higher megapixel count
