Style is a characteristic and recognizable way that an artist or culture expresses itself. There are personal styles (such as Monet's personal or "signature" style), period styles (such as the Baroque-era style shared by a number of artists in the 17th century), national styles (such as the Japanese style). There are also styles associated with particular media, such as photography--in which a photographer adopts a set of techniques and strategies associated with the "documentary" style, "pictorialist" style, or "new-vision" style.

This is a style of photography in which the photographer attempts to make camera images that resemble paintings, prints or drawings. Typically they feature softly focused images, scratched negatives, or brushy prints.
Photorealistic is a style of paintings, sculptures, etc. (not photographs) that feature meticulous, photographic precision or extremely detailed naturalism.
Art that is non-representational contains no reference to anything outside of itself.
The term “new vision” was coined by the Hungarian photographer Laszlo Moholy-Nagy to describe photographs tend to seem artistic without imitating other art media such as paintings, drawings or intaglio prints. New Vision photographers employ a variety of photographic techniques first popular in the 1920s and 1930s, including photograms, negative prints, solarized prints, and photographs taken from disorienting viewpoints, such as bird’s-eye or frog’s-eye perspectives.
Art that is referred to as “naturalistic” seeks to imitate the way things appear in the world rather than to express an intellectual theory or idea of perfection. While this is commonly referred to as “realistic,” art historians prefer the term “naturalistic” to avoid any confusion with the mid-19th-century art movement known as “Realism.”
This term describes works of art that present a culture’s idea of perfection, for example a perfect human body at the peak of its power.
Also called “straight photography,” this term describes camera images that draw attention to the subject matter rather than the photographer behind the camera. They are usually made during daylight hours, with straightforward camera angles (not tipped up or down), and with sharply focused details.
The term “classical style” was first coined in the late 18th century to describe what art historians of that era considered to be “first class.” The style is characterized by hard-edged, rectilinear forms, symmetrically balanced compositions, and the observance of a canon of proportions first used by the ancient Greeks.
This term derives from a Portuguese word meaning "misshapen pearl." It is characterized by the use of curvilinear forms, asymmetrical compositions, and soft-edged, painterly techniques.
