Week 9 Vocabulary: large format photography, miniature faking, view camera

large format photography: refers to any imaging format of 4x5 inches or larger. The main advantage of large format photography, film or digital, is higher resolution,. A 4x5 inch image has about 16 times the area, and thus 16x the total resolution, of a 35 mm frame. 

miniature faking: also known as diorama effect or diorama illusion, is a process in which a photograph of a life-size location or object is made to look like a photograph of a miniature scale model.

view camera: a type of camera first developed in the era of the daguerreotype, and still in use today, though with many refinements. It compromises a flexible bellows that forms a light-tight seal between two adjustable standards, one of which holds a lens, and the other a viewfinder or a photographic film holder.
