Representational landscape photographs are photographs of landscapes as they appear in reality. In other words, these are the types of photographs that you probably associate with pictures of landscapes. They show mountains, rivers, waterfalls, beaches, and so on as they appear to the photographers when they take the picture. They are pictures that are as realistic as possible.

Impressionistic landscape photographs are those that show an impression of the scene rather than an exact representation of the scene. The results are photographs that are more subtle and less “real” than representational landscapes. For example, you might use a shallower depth of field with a photograph to highlight a particular aspect while leaving the impression of what lies behind that aspect.

Abstract landscape photographs are those that emphasize shape, form, contrast, or color in such a way that the scene itself is not recognizable. These photographs are not meant to convey a particular scene, but to focus on particular elements within it. For example, you might see a photograph that shows water meeting sand on a beach. Without more information, the particular landscape is not recognizable, but the abstract nature of the photograph still conveys elements of that scene.
