Types of Photography

So I thought photography is a minor thing i never knew it was a major thing. there are different categories of photography. So when i first started i had to visit a pro photographer and i learnt so much from him. Things he said changed my view about the art. Its now six months since i started my art and now i have grown to become better at my art.

For those of you who do not know about the art. this are the various types... But for your information anything you are capturing can take the name along side the art, just know that the style in capturing this art is very different from each other.

 Aerial From a plane, helicopter, balloon or other airborne device.
 Adventure, Action Adventure sports, daring feats, etc. Amateur Any type of photography practiced by non-professionals.
 Animal, Pet Pets and their relationships with humans. Note that the human content is often as important as the animal.
Architecture,RealEstate The art of making property appear attractive. Often involves panoramic photography.
 Artistic Photography in which creative composition is the goal.
Astrophotography Space photography, through a telescope.
Aura A controversial type of photography which some claim can photograph a person's aura.
Black & White Not simply photography without colour, black and white photography explores shapes, tones and textures. Shadows and highlights become much more important.
Camera Phone "Convenience" photography using a mobile phone's built-in camera. While not the best quality, camera phones have opened a new world of spontaneous, on-the-spot photo opportunities.
Commercial Product shots, advertising, etc.
Digiscoping Photography through a telescope or binoculars.
Documentary Journalism, Events, Historical, Political, etc. Event Concerts, parties, festivals, weddings, etc. Forensic Police and legal photography.

Large Format For use on posters, billboards, etc. Kirlian A type of contact print photography in which an object touching a photographic plate is connected to a high voltage source, creating an aura-like image. Often confused with aura photography.
Macro The art of photographing very small and/or close-up objects. Medical Specialized photography for clinical purposes, i.e. to help reveal and diagnose illness.
Microscopic Any technique for photographing objects too small to be visible to humans. Modeling Photographing objects to be converted into 3D models.
Nature Landscapes, animals, plants, sea, etc. Night Any technique used to capture images at night. Often includes infrared photography.

Sports The specialized art of shooting people engaged in sports, games and adventure activities.
Stereoscopic (3-D) Involves taking two photos simultaneously to simulate 3-D vision.
 Stock Photographs taken for distribution to other people, for use in their projects. These photos tend to be quite generic, e.g. people working, landscapes, places, etc.
