Advertising photography is quite similar to other genres of photography yet distinctly apart.

For instance, one very popular technique used in advertising of products is 360 product photography. Through this technique, a video shoot is created where the product is rotated such that a person can view all of its sides and thus understand the product well thereby increasing its sale probability.
Such photographers not only sell products through their skills but also lifestyles, concepts and ideas. They are given plenty of creative freedom to interpret anything from products to lifestyles, in their own unique way and present them in such a manner that majorly impacts the marketing, layout, business management and sales trends. Studies suggest that over80 percent of all advertising campaigns uses such specific form of photography.

This can easily be testified when browsing through a newspaper or looking at billboards and large hoardings. Even the internet bears testimony of this fact.
The success of an advertising photographer depends on how well he is able to understand the psyche of the mass audience and produce work which succeeds in tantalizing their taste buds. With their talents, they create a lasting impression.
