What’s the difference between fashion and glamor photography?
I just want some vague info between the two types of photography, some of the techniques used for both and some examples. Thanks in advance to whoever responds. 
Glamour photography is the photographing of a model with the emphasis on the allure of the subject. Photographers use a combination of cosmetics, lighting and airbrushing techniques to produce the most physically appealing image of the model possible.
Fashion photography is a genre of photography devoted to displaying clothing and other fashion items. Fashion photography is most often conducted for advertisements or fashion magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, or Allure. Over time, fashion photography has developed its own aesthetic in which the clothes and fashions are enhanced by exotic locations and story lines or could be having great models with different vehicles or animals just to be an eye catching effect.

fashion is when the model keeps her clothes on, glamour is when she doesnt

Pretty sure fashion photography focuses on the clothes, while glamour photography focuses on the person.

glamor photography usally involves women in seductive lingerie, in suggestive poses, with a romatic setting like a bed as a backdrop and soft lighting.

Technically they are the same in that the majority is studio based and involves a subject and studio lighting.
In fashion though the clothes are the "subject" rather than the model.
In glamour the model is the subject and often they have minimal if any clothes on.
Lighting is often very similar whichever you are shooting although glamour tends to "flood" the subject more.
