Traditional Methods Used

The small camera- the most common tool for amateur photographers. With a film negative of 35 mm, the camera is still both practical and affordable. The Small camera is always being redesigned, fitted with the newest of technology. It is this format that the digital camera takes after and will likely replace. It is easily portable, withstanding, and if used correctly, produces good results.


The middle camera- most commonly used by professional or modeling photographers. Its film negatives are larger than the small camera, and the camera itself is much heavier and fragile than its counterpart. However, the quality and focusing ability of the middle camera is by far the greatest. It may be heavy, but it is light enough to be held without a tripod, and is easy enough to handle. The Middle camera is usually not updated in technology, but as the common saying goes: "if it works, it doesn't need fixing". This camera is the professional quality style camera.


The Large camera- rarely used for anything other than artistic photography. It isn't particularly practical and is undeniably old fashioned. It needs a tripod, the image is so dim you need a cloth over both the back of the camera and the photographer's head, the image is totally inverted and the camera itself is too heavy to easily move. Although it seems so impractical, the quality is more than reasonable, especially when in black and white, therefore, this camera is common for artistic photography.
