True to color -

this is the most classic photography style. This style doesn’t rely on changing much in terms of tones, but instead processing to make sure light is balanced exactly as it was shot. Photos might be enhanced to make colors pop, but otherwise stay pretty true to straight out of camera.

Light and airy -

this is on the complete other side of the spectrum. These photos are bright, often pastel, with light highlights and almost no shadows. This style doesn’t typically mute colors and frequently have pinkish or yellow tones in the photos with bright greens. Skies will be blown out, and the photos have a whimsical, almost fairy tale like feeling to them.

Dark and moody -

this style is the more muted, dark, shadowy photos. Typically greens are muted down or not there at all, colors may be muted across the board, and there might be a cool or warm temperature to the photo. This is a super popular style that we’re seeing a lot more of in the photography community! Dark and moody photos often feel emotional and stoic.

Bold and vibrant -

this branches off of the true to color style. Colors are not made dark or bright, but rather vibrant and colorful. These photos will be saturated and more contrast-y than true to color.

Light and moody -

this is a blend of styles with heavier shadows without muting the colors. The photos feel deep and earthy without being really dark and shadowy. Highlights stay a little brighter rather faded, and colors tend pop just a bit.

Monochromatic or black and white -

this isn’t as common with digital photography nowadays, but some photographers do solely shoot in black and white/monochromatic.
