This is not a finite list of terms, but the idea is there are a multitude of ways to make a photograph, and some not conceived yet. The camera may or may not be used; the principle is mainly creative use of light.

Use of these methods started in 1826, when the first permanent photograph was invented by Nicéphore Niépce.
