| Created using Wordle based on MediaCollege's types of photography. |
What are your favorites? What type of photography do you like taking or would want to take. I'd encourage you to pick one type of photography and practice it until you do well in it and then move on to other types.
From MediaCollege's list above, the types of photography that are most relevant to beginning photographers are the following:
- Animal, Pet - "Pets and their relationships with humans. Note that the human content is often as important as the animal" (MediaCollege).
- Architecture - "The art of making property [like buildings] appear attractive. Often involves panoramic photography."
- Artistic - "Photography in which creative composition is the goal."
- 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."
- Documentary - "Journalism, Events, Historical, Political, etc."
- Event - "Concerts, parties, festivals, weddings, etc."
- Macro - "The art of photographing very small and/or close-up objects."
- Nature - "Landscapes, animals, plants, sea, etc."
- Night - "Any technique used to capture images at night. Often includes infrared photography."
- Panoramic - "Views of wide areas, up to complete 360° panoramas."
- People - "Candid, Family, Fashion, Glamour, Passports & Visas, Portrait, Pregnancy, School, Sports, Wedding"
- Scenic - "Landscape, Cityscape"
- Sports - "The specialized art of shooting people engaged in sports, games and adventure activities.
- Urban, Industrial or Street - Emphasizing urban environments.
