* [[Architectural photography]] focuses on capturing photographs of buildings and architectural structures that are aesthetically pleasing and accurate in terms of representations of their subjects.
* [[Event photography]] focuses on photographing guests and occurrences at mostly social events.
* Fashion and glamour photography usually incorporates [[photographic model|models]] and is a form of advertising photography.

* Real estate photography focuses on the production of photographs showcasing a property that is for sale, such photographs requires the use of wide-lens and extensive knowledge in [[high-dynamic-range imaging]] photography.
