This question doesn't make that much sense. But I'll try, cuz I'm cool like that.
There are multiple types of photography. Landscapes, portraits, pinhole, action, still life, and snapshots tend to be the most common.
Landscapes require a wide-angle lens on the camera, which makes spread-out stuff appear closer. This is nice for nature, but not so great for people. It messes up their bodies. They have deep depth of field.
Portraits are often of the face and require shallow depth of field. They often use telephoto (zoom) lenses that can get in close without distractions.
Pinhole is gimmicky and makes the world look distorted. Special cameras are required for this.
Action shots are often sports pictures, such as baseball. It requires high shutter speed and usually a closed aperture (to show greater depth of field), but this means tons of light is required, so you need either high speed film, a great flash, or you need to be outdoors.
Still life is just that. Still.
There are many others, but those are the main ones. The rest depend on people's style.

Photography is only limited by your imagination. You can spend your entire life focusing on one aspect of a limitless field. Sure, there are portrait, children, maternity, senior, wedding, sports, landscape, commercial, architecture, nature, wildlife, and industrial. But you can narrow any one of those fields down to a limitless amount.
You could narrow nature down to just trees or rocks. Wildlife can be narrowed down to a more specific type of animal(s) that you choose to follow. You can narrow down architecture to just cityscapes and townscapes (the outline of a city or town against the sky).
So, your question, though not hard to answer is impossible to provide a number for.

Landscape, Sports, Portrait, Night, Fireworks, Black & White, Macro, Wildlife and Underwater are the first 9 that come to mind.

It's only ONE subject: PHOTOGRAPHY.
YOU pick what type you want to photograph.
