Dear Viewers and Fellow Photographers,
Strange a topic as this is, it is very important for day to day life and will come up (if it hasn't already) as a problem to solve. Text photography is not a special type of photography, but it entails a variety of sub parts and areas to look on.
First of all, text photography has a lot to do with the content of the photo than how the photo has been taken and how it looks. The viewer of the photo would be looking for what has been written on the document and therefore, it must be legible the whole way through. Macro setting will help really well in these conditions, and also a slightly high aperture setting for brightening up the picture, and helping it become more legible at the same time. It will also make the photo look professional.
The second sub topic of text photography is more of an abstract take to it rather than the document take. An example of this would be:

This is the sort of picture you would use on a website or a magazine, which would be using it to give glimpses of the topic, and may be used as a background or backdrop. They can be commercially sold as stock photos as these photos are real sellers over the internet. However simple it may look and seem, you need the correct angle, lens and settings to get it to focus on the right thing. My attempt would be:
My own photo
This is a good photo but not perfect for my needs, as the background. This is because the picture is very dark, and the content of the picture is sparse.
It however, is the perfect picture for how to take a photo - it also depicts well that not only do you need the knowledge of how to take a picture but the understanding of the value of what's in the picture.
The picture had not got a perfect lighting arena, it was taken outside. However, the macro and F point of the photo were spot on, focusing the whole picture and causing a vignetting of the picture.
For documents, on the other hand, you should depend more on your office scanner, but a descent smartphone could do you well.
