Commercial photography involves taking pictures for commercial use:corporate brochures and leaflets, menus in cafes and restaurants, and similar commercial uses where photographs enhance a text. Commercial photography is used to promote or sell a product or service. There are a number of ways that photographs can be used to better market products and corporations.
Promoting a Business
Businesses may want to use commercial photography to promote themselves, or particular aspects of their work.
Food Photographs
Food can be photographed to promote menus or for use in culinary sections of magazines: these shots can either focus upon the food, rather like catalogue shots of clothes, or they can take in the mood and feel of a venue.
