Typeologies - Periodicals

Eadward Muybridge and Etienne Jules Marey both recorded movement in humans and animals e.g birds, horses, elephants etc. they did this by taking multiple exposures on a single plate.

Although their work isn't classed as categorised it is still considered to be put into the category of movement images.

As the times moved on the typeologies subject has grown widely, it has been split into categories such as criminals, cars, sports, colours, books, houses, people etc. All these are being recorded as evidence for example in museums insects are categorised by size and shape.

A photographer Omar D gathered together a set of images of people who had gone missing in Algeria, by doing this he was trying to keep their memory alive for them to be found, i feel this runs in the category of people.

From what i found there was more than just one set of images with missing people's faces on them. I am not too sure if this is exactly a typeology, but the way that they have been gathered and shown it could be a part of a typeology for missing people. This image i found while looking through the journal ''Camera Austria''.

Another image that i found while looking through the journals were of portraits of military personel, these had all been taken with with the head and shoulders showing giving it more of a formal photograph. This could be categorised into high ranking officials.

Although i found this search hard to do, i also feel that after looking through the journals that i found that typeology can categorise anything that has something in common with another, and this can go under any subject.
