I will be shooting in a commercial style, commercial photography is photography that will be used I a commercial context e.g. posters, adverts, billboards etc. Or when a photographer is paid for their work. 

Commercial photograph is most commonly advertising, product placement and merchandising for companies but can also be wedding photography, photojournalism like I said anything a photographer is paid for.
