What kinds of photography are there? (working direction)

As a job, photography has too many types of work. Generally speaking, it can be divided into documentary photography and commercial photography. The biggest difference between the two is that the former is ideological or satisfied with commercial communication.

Documentary photography is also divided into many categories, such as landscape photography, wildlife photography, humanistic documentary photography, news photography and so on. There are also corresponding different positions. Commercial photography includes advertising photography, pet photography, conference photography, children photography and so on. Of course, including wedding photography and photo photography.

It is worth mentioning that as a profession, you can meet the needs of the post first, but to be an excellent photographer, you have to master the photography technology in an all-round way, instead of not shooting except one type.
