"Above the line" and "below the line" are advertising terms used to describe where the advert or media will be deployed, or in my case, where the Photography will be used.

Above The Line (ATL):

Above the line or "ATL" as it's sometimes referred to, is media for a much wider targeted audience.

So things like television or radio (not really relevant to stills photography), or billboards and large screen digital displays like the ones you see as you drive into London.

Above the Line is for those advertisement campaigns that are for a much wider spectrum of people.

So things like an automotive, phone, or a food company will appeal to a much wider audience than say a company selling IT Servers, or industrial carpet cleaners.

So Above the Line (ATL), is for a very wide audience of people for things that will appeal to almost everyone.

Below The Line (BTL):

Below the line, or "BTL", is therefore advertising targeted to a much more niche group of people.

So think of things like targeted social media adverts, where you can show your ad only to people who have an interest in a specific product or service.

Things like a company website, direct email marketing campaigns, industry brochures etc.

Below the line usage is for more targeted consumers, where you don't need everyone to see the advert, just the more niche group of people who will purchase whatever it is you're selling.

So things like memory cards for cameras, fitness supplements, a luxury watch brand.

What are two type of advertising?

I think you mean "below the line" and "above the line" advertising. Ad agencies used to get paid on a media commission for placing ads (above the line in accounting terms) and other forms of advertising, which included targeting customers or segments with collateral or direct response, fell below the line, since they were non-commission. Today those categories are not really relevant, especially with the advent of digital/internet advertising. So, you might say today that there is image advertising, for example commercials running during the Super Bowl; and then there is targeted advertising, which you see in direct response and internet advertising, which targets a need of a particular customer or market segment.
