Top 985 Photography Keywords
Monthly search volume, CPC, competition and a 12-month trend for 985 photography keywords, updated October 2026.
Photography keywords are cameras, lenses, techniques, editing, courses and the photography services people hire (wedding, portrait, product). Gear reviews and tutorials rank; service terms plus a city are where photographers compete.
The list holds 985 keywords with a combined 80,658,260 searches a month. The most searched are focus (5,000,000), camera (4,090,000), gif (3,350,000), flash (2,240,000), lens (2,240,000), sony (2,240,000), behance (1,830,000), davinci resolve (1,830,000), gopro (1,830,000) and photoshop (1,830,000).
Advertisers pay most for digital asset management ($13.13 a click), equipment insurance ($6.41 a click), medical photography ($5.62 a click), black point ($5.36 a click) and advertising campaigns ($4.73 a click). 12% of the keywords in the list cost $1 or more a click, which marks the commercial end of the niche.
Demand is steady through the year: across the list, the busiest and quietest months are within 1.2x of each other. The trend column shows each keyword's own twelve months.
Volumes are global monthly averages from Google; CPC is the top-of-page bid in US dollars; competition runs from 0 (few advertisers) to 1 (many). Last refreshed October 2026. For any other keyword, the free search volume checker gives the same numbers, and the Keywords Everywhere extension shows them inside Google as you search.
