Vernacular Photography: The common definition of the word "vernacular" is having an indigenous or native quality. But, Vernacular Photography, which is also known as amateur photography, is the creation of photographs that are taken by everyday, ordinary, or unknown photographers that take photographs of common, everyday things.

Candid Photography: Candid Photography is photography that focuses mainly on the impulse to take a picture, instead of focusing on the techniques that could be used to take the picture. For example this type of photography would not be considered a photograph that was taken on account of the fact that the scene, or stage was set up or planned. It is sort of like a spur of the moment photograph.
