Commercial Photography
As a commercial photographer, my goal is to help grow your business with professional commercial photography that visually conveys your brand’s message to your target audience, whether it be through your company’s marketing materials or advertising campaigns.
What is Commercial Photography?
Commercial photography is more about how images are used versus the subject matter. Simply put, it is the creation of imagery that is used to promote a business, person, product, or service.
This article on Fstoppers provides several definitions by photographers in their own words.
Types of Commercial Photography
Some types include:
- Advertising Photography - the images are used on space bought from a third-party, such as a print ad in a magazine, or a billboard.
- Marketing Photography - the images are used on space owned by the promoting business (company website, brochure, etc).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between editorial and commercial photography?
The difference is in the usage of the images. Editorial photography is typically used to illustrate a story or article in a newspaper, magazine, or book. Commercial photography is used to promote and sell a product or service. The same image can fall under both categories of photography.
