What is a typology?
Typology is the study of types. So photographers will take an object, say for example a hat, and simply take photographs of lots of different hats and put them together as a collection.
Written explanation from the internet i found:
A typology is a set of categories used for classification. A typology generally has non-overlapping categories that exhaust all possibilities so that there is one category available for each observation and each observation only fits one category.
