In the past, the aim of photography was to provide portraits for people who could not afford paintings.

During the War, photos allowed people to grieve and remember their family members who died on the battlefield.

Lovers can also use photos to ease the pain of losing their loved one on a cold night.

As time went on, photography served more diverse purposes. You can see this with all the different photography niches.

Product photography is based on the sole purpose of selling a product such as food. Photographers have to make every food and drink item look shinier, more appetizing and tastier than its competitors.

Meanwhile, portrait photography aims to tell a person's identity, personality and story.

This style is divided into several more types, such as lifestyle portraits, street portraits, and many more, each of which has a different purpose.

For hobbyist and casual photographers alike, photography is a way to document life's meaningful moments—memories stored indefinitely in a single image, which you can easily look back at at any time.
