Documentary Photography
Documentary photography is used to capture both significant and historical events. It is usually covered in photojournalism. The aim of this kind of photography is to produce truthful, objective and candid photographs of a particular subject. An example of a documentary photographer is Dorothea Lange who's famous for the 'Migrant Mother' image which was taken during the Great Depression.
Still Life Photography
Still life photography is the capture of inanimate objects, or usually a small grouping of objects. Still life photography gives the photographer more leeway with the arrangement of the elements in the image. This genre of photography requires compositional skills and a refined sense of lighting.
Panoramic Photography
On some cameras, there is a Panorama mode which allows you to take a picture whilst panning the camera either horizontally or vertically to create an image with a wide field of view. This genre of photography is best for landscapes.
Portrait Photography
Portraiture is based on people. The photographs are usually of a person or group of people that displays expression, personality or mood. The main focus of portraiture is a person's face so the photographs usually contain the head and torso of a person; but on occasions, photographers will include the entire person in the photograph.
Landscape Photography
Landscape photography is typically the capture of the world; this includes nature and man made features. Many landscape photographs show little or no human activity. Landscape photography can be there to bring out the greatness of nature such as mountains or an open field.
