The commercial photographic world is traditionally broken down to:

Advertising photography: photographs made to illustrate a service or product. These images are generally done with an advertising agency, design firm or with an in-house corporate design team.

Editorial photography: photographs made to illustrate a story or idea within the context of a magazine. These are usually assigned by the magazine.

Photojournalism: this can be considered a subset of editorial photography. Photographs made in this context are accepted as a truthful documentation of a news story.

Portrait and wedding photography: photographs made and sold directly to the end user of the images.

Fine art photography: photographs made to fulfill a vision, and reproduced to be sold directly to the end user.
The market for photographic services demonstrates the aphorism "one picture is worth a thousand words," which has an interesting basis in the history of photography. Magazines and newspapers, companies putting up Web sites, advertising agencies and other groups pay for photography.
