For example, a real estate company may hire a photojournalist to capture interior and exterior pictures of a property for sale. The real estate office wants the photojournalist to sell potential clients on viewing and hopefully purchasing the property by creating persuasive images. Commercial photography is all about engaging the viewer to take action.

Subjects may include watching a new housing subdivision grow over a span of two years, documenting the lives of teenagers as they traverse four years of high school or capturing the changing coastline of a major river.
