Photography is the process of
recording pictures by means of
capturing light on film or electronic sensor. Light patterns reflected or
emitted from objects expose a sensitive silver halide based chemical or
electronic medium during a timed exposure, usually through a photographic
lens in a device known as a camera that also stores the resulting
information chemically or electronically. |

There are
many types of photography and photographers who specialize in them.
Advertising photography: photographs made to
illustrate and usually sell a service or product. These images are
generally done with an advertising agency, design firm or with an
in-house corporate design team.
Fashion and glamour photography: This type of photography usually
incorporates models.
Fashion photography emphasizes the clothes or product, glamour
emphasizes the model.
Glamour photography is popular in advertising and in men's magazines.
Models in glamour photography may be nude, but this is not always the
case.
Still life photography usually depicts inanimate subject matter,
typically commonplace objects which may be either natural or man-made.
Food photography can be used for editorial, packaging or advertising
use. Food photography is similar to still life photography, but
requires some special skills.
Editorial photography: photographs made to illustrate a story or idea
within the context of a magazine. These are usually assigned by the
magazine.
Photojournalism: this can be considered a subset of editorial
photography. Photographs made in this context are accepted as a
documentation of a news story.
Portrait and wedding photography: photographs made and sold directly
to the end user of the images.
Fine art photography: photographs made to fulfill a vision, and
reproduced to be sold directly to the customer.
Landscape photography: photographs of different locations made to be
sold to tourists as postcards
