Journalistic/event photography is about accuracy to reality, almost all other types of photography are not.

Portrait photography -- no, people don't look like that in real life with skin flaws edited out

Landscape photography -- no, the landscapes don't look like that 99% of the time, the photographer picks the 1% of the time when it looks surreal

Staged photography -- no, it didn't really happen

Street photography -- a lot of it is staged spontaneously

Product photography -- no, they don't look like that in normal lighting
