Which is better, photography or advertising design?

Both are fine.

Photographic camera technology involves a wide range, including documentary photography, wedding photography, commercial photography, movies, TV series and so on. Photographers need to have profound theoretical foundation, be familiar with various shooting equipment, production tools and post-processing technology, be good at capturing moments, and have good aesthetic quality and creative ability. Advertising design involves a relatively narrow scope, mainly through painting, typesetting, photography and other means to promote and design various advertising works for the brand. In the field of advertising design, designers need to have creative thinking, good aesthetic quality, excellent design skills and the ability to communicate and cooperate with customers.

Photography and advertising design are both occupations in creative industries, and their advantages and disadvantages should be determined according to personal hobbies, skill characteristics and job market demand.
