Italian term or phrase: ripresa fotografica

"Sig. X cura il settore di ripresa fotografica e fotografia commerciale dello Studio XX."

"ripresa fotografica," to my slightly addled brain, seems nothing more than "the taking of photographs," which would be, in English, simply "photography." What I'd like to avoid is "photography and commercial photography." Any ideas?

Thanks!
