Aleatoric Photography:

Aleatoric photography is the incorporation of chance into the process of taking a photograph. The word comes from the Latin word ‘alea’, which means the rolling of dice. “Aleatory” should not be confused with improvisation as it relies purely on chance instead of quick thinking.

One example of aleatoric photography would be smoke photography. Relying heavily on randomness to give it its spark. Photographing smoke is easy although it takes multiple shots for the shapes and swirls of the smoke to look the way the photographer might like. It also depends on what else may be in the photo and how the smoke reacts with the other subjects in the image.
