Photography, just as 'alternative photography' is alternative to everyday
photography. The osteopaths and the acupuncturists chose 'complementary' as
an alternative to 'alternative' and everybody knows what 'complementary
means in that context.

Extending Ron's Inuit theme, I hope that it does not get labeled 'anorak'
photgraphy to distinguish it from 'suit' photography.

That would not be very complimentary.
