• Daguerreotype: An early photographic process producing a single image on a silvered copper plate
• Calotype: An early photographic process using paper coated with light-sensitive chemicals
• Collodion (wet-plate): A photographic process using a collodion-coated glass plate
• Albumen paper: A photographic paper coated with albumen (egg white) to support the light-sensitive materials.
• Combination printing: A process producing both negative and positive photographic images
• Negative/positive/direct positive: A process that produces a negative image first and then a positive from the negative
• 3-part laminar structure of photographs: Photographic process resulting in 3 separate layers of an image.
• Latent image: An invisible image formed on a light-sensitive material during exposure

• Cyanotype: A photographic print using a cyan-based chemical
• Stereoscopy/stereograph: A process to create a three-dimensional image from two slightly different viewpoints
• Dry plate: A process to produce photographic images making use of plates not needing a wet process.
• Instantaneous photography: A process to capture an image quickly with rapid action, resulting in a finished image quickly.

• Half tone: Process that converts continuous-tone images into halftones.
• Straight photography: A style that is authentic to the image seen
• Pre-visualisation: A style of photography that is planned ahead of time prior to image capture.
• Photogravure: A print reproduced by etching into a metal plate that creates the image
• Gum printing: A slow, detailed process of imaging on paper coated with gum, creating a print.
• Celluloid/nitrate film: A photographic film made of celluloid or nitrate.
• Photomechanical reproduction: Copying images using mechanical techniques
