Different types of photography.

Fashion photography -
This genre of photography can be fast paced and competitive, through the changing trends of clothing and accessories to photographers changing their style of shooting and aesthetics. Fashion photography links to street photography where photographers create an art form from capturing in modern streets / places. This adds the idea of having an artistic background to make the whole photo look interesting. The background can also link or reflect a models clothing.

      

      

Editorial photography - 
In this genre of photography, photographs are used to support text, for example in magazine pages and newspapers and are used to visually give a message. This photography links to photo journalism and can reflect world topics. These photographs have messages and meanings behind them, portraying modern stories. Examples shown from a book show daily, modern people in the street.
One photo includes a mirror reflection in a portrait, which could be showing a persons thoughts on the outside world and reflection of life as they look out the window. The other photo includes many props surrounding the person in monochrome. The photos overall have deep connotations and many deeper stories behind.
Personally, I would attempt to use this photography in any projects as it can have deeper connotations and can be interesting to use.
An example of a person who undertakes somewhat of this photography theme is Susan Meiselas, who specialises in documentary photography.

Commercial photography - 
Commercial photography includes photographs taken to promote things for reports, businesses, etc in order to make money. This genre of photography overall helps sell a product in advertisement and must be done successfully in order for audiences to be persuaded and buy the product. The photographs make the product or topic look amazing and usually have neutral lighting and background settings to allow the main project to shine. Examples include travel brochures, restaurant menus / food photography and jewelry photography. The whole category uses photographs for sale purposes.
