Photography Genres
Often, the word genre is used for books or songs.
The main intention to give various genres to these two art forms is to bifurcate and categorize similar compositions in one place.
It is exactly the case with photography as well.
From a pool of large images, it is essential to place one kind of images under a single category.
This categorization solves multiple purposes such as
-
Creating a consolidated collection
-
Enabling viewers to see more of what they like
-
Filtering out any particular requirements
-
Facilitating easy learning of pictures that fall under one category
-
Helping the viewers to understand the difference in multiple pictures that they see
-
Setting guidelines for aspiring photographers
So, a genre is like a starting point for people who want to enhance their knowledge and understand their interests. Some of the top genres in photography are:-
- Street and Documentary
- Story
-Series
- Portrait Photography
- Landscape Photography
- Nature Photography
Each of these has particular distinguishing factors that make them so different from each other.
