scenic photography

Capturing beautiful vistas

Scenic photography is photography that captures landscapes, natural vistas, or picturesque views.

The term emphasizes the aesthetic quality of the setting rather than people or events within it: The calendar featured scenic photography from national parks.

It overlaps with landscape photography but may include urban panoramas or any visually striking location.
