The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to photography:

Photography – process of making pictures by the action of recording light patterns, reflected or emitted from objects, on a photosensitive medium or an image sensor through a timed exposure. The process is done through mechanical, chemical, or electronic devices known as cameras.

Areas of practice edit

Applied photography edit

Scientific photography edit

Scientific imaging edit

Medical imaging edit

Creating images of the human body or parts of it, to diagnose or examine disease.

Bioluminescence imaging – a technique for studying laboratory animals using luminescent protein.
Calcium imaging – determining the calcium status of a tissue using fluorescent light.
Diffuse optical imaging – using near-infrared light to generate images of the body.
Diffusion-weighted imaging – a type of MRI that uses water diffusion.
Endoscopy – a procedure using an endoscope to examine the interior of a hollow organ or cavity of the body.
Fluorescence lifetime imaging – using the decay rate of a fluorescent sample.
Fluorescence image-guided surgery – used to detect fluorescently labelled structures during surgery.
Gallium imaging – a nuclear medicine method for the detection of infections and cancers.
Imaging agent – a chemical designed to allow clinicians to determine whether a mass is benign or malignant.
Imaging studies – which includes many medical imaging techniques.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – a non-invasive method to render images of living tissues.
Microscopy – creating images of objects or features too small to be detectable by the naked human eye.
Molecular imaging – used to study molecular pathways inside organisms.
Non-contact thermography – is the field of thermography that derives diagnostic indications from infrared images of the human body.
Nuclear medicine – uses administered radioactive substances to create images of internal organs and their function.
Optical imaging – using light as an investigational tool for biological research and medical diagnosis.
Optoacoustic imaging – using the photothermal effect, for the accuracy of spectroscopy with the depth resolution of ultrasound.
Photoacoustic Imaging – a technique to detect vascular disease and cancer using non-ionizing laser pulses.
Ultrasound imaging – using very high frequency sound to visualize muscles and internal organs.
