1. News related--When I think of news related photos, I think of tragedies. This is usually in the national newspapers, not the local ones. They are in the newspaper to tell the audience about a certain topic, whether that is Peyton Manning throwing a game winning pass, Julia Roberts in a still photo of her upcoming movie, or of a soldier fighting in Iraq. They are about events going on in the world.
2. Snapshots-- They are usually candid. I think of movement, so maybe blurred photos from people moving without a fast enough shutter speed.
3. Ads-- All of them focus on a product or several for a specific company. For fashion-- usually a celebrity is wearing the clothes in a photo shoot that involves other props. Sometimes they are really bizarre photos of models wearing the clothes while moving, interacting with others, or posing. They are very sharp photos. Product photography usually involves an action of using the product that will apply to the audience
4. Film/movie stills --These usually involve a whole scene and other characters. They are rehearsed movements. There are a lot of factors that go into these photos--makeup, clothing, props, extras...
5. Yearbook photos-- yearbook photos involve a plain backdrop in order to focus on the subject. It is just the head/face and some of the shoulders. Senior portraits can be different. Mine involved outdoor and indoor photos. The indoor was a set, and the photographer would direct me where to sit and how to position myself. So, they are very posed, and usually all smiling.
