Which code does this activity belong in?
Commercial photography establishments provide still, video, or digital photography services primarily for advertising agencies, publishers, and business or industrial clients. The key distinction separates these establishments from portrait studios, which focus on personal portraiture for individuals and families, including school photographs, passport photography, and event videography. Commercial photographers serve organizational clients with images designed for advertising, promotional, or industrial purposes, whereas portrait photography studios serve individuals and personal occasions.
