Here are 4 most popular photography genres. Take a look and find out which kind of photography interests you more.

Wildlife photography
This genre is about capturing wild animals in their natural habitat. As this is a bit more challenging than other forms, it requires practice and knowledge about the wildlife as well.

Fashion photography
A booming genre of photography, fashion photography is typically used to showcase the glamor world. The fashion photographs are typically very visually attractive, creative and can be shot at any location, whether in a studio, apartment, or anywhere outdoor.
In fashion photography, every single element plays a distinct part such as the setting, makeup of the fashion models, stylists, location and even the models themselves play a noteworthy part in bringing the best out of the picture.

Food photography
Food photography is used by restaurants, food bloggers, food magazines, to name a few. This, too, is a new genre and is seemingly becoming more popular day by day. One of the most important parts of food photography is to use natural light instead of camera flash. When a photographer uses flash during food photography, unnecessary elements get highlighted, which spoils the very purpose of the picture.

Candid photography
This is a relatively new and extremely popular genre of photography. Moments when spontaneously captured in a camera lens is called a candid photography. The subject of a candid photography is more relaxed as they aren’t’ really aware that their picture is being clicked. This type of photography is booming in wedding photography. Usually, a long zoom lens is used while capturing a candid photo.
