I've been contemplating using the Media View Type for the kind of photo being attached:

Identification Photo - The object is photographed on a neutral background with standard lighting.
Technical Photo - The object is being lit to highlight structural (raking light, transmittive light, radiography, different wave lengths).
Contextual - The object is photographed in situ or contextualized with other objects in a set or ensemble.
Artistic Photo - The object is being lit dramatically, or cropped for artistic effect.

The downside is that the Media View Type is not visible on the Media Tab in other modules.

Hi All - We've just upgraded to TMS 2018 and I'm contemplating how best to use the new " Media View Type" drop-down menu. I love that there's this additional level of classification, since we use the media tab for very diverse media - documents, object photography, installation photography, conservation photography, audio clips, videos, etc. I'm wondering how others are utilizing this new menu or the types of groupings that your institutions have developed for further classification of media?
