So advertising is more commercial viability than artistic viability but that doesn't mean that advertising photography can't be artistic as well. The main purpose for advertising photography is to be used to advertise the certain product that they have been paid to advertise.

Portraiture
Portraiture photography is an other genre of photography that photographers take photos of people or groups of people that show expressions, mood and personality of the subject in the photo. So the main focus of a portraiture photo is of the subjects face which shows their expressions, mood and personality but they also show the subjects body and background as well as the face. Portraiture photography can be for artistic and commercial viability. The commercial side of portraiture photography is when the photographers take portraiture photos of people for family portraits, wedding portraits, baby portraits and others. Portraiture photography can also be artistic by using different photography techniques to make them look more artistic.

My Photo
The image progression that I have done is that my first idea was to go to Dino Park (Teesaurus park) and take a photo of one of the metal dinosaur sculptures that are in the park. So I have decided to go for the Architectural photography genre. I have decided to do architectural photography because I knew what to take for this genre and I like this genre more than the others.
This is my final photo which I have taken.
The equipment that I used was my Sony Cyber-shot DSCH300B Bridge Camera to take the photo.
The techniques that I used to take this photo were I used rule of thirds to put the main part of the photo into the bottom half of the frame. I have also took this photo in the evening so I have put the ISO to 3200 so that you will be able to see the image. I have also put the F stop to F7.7.
