Sumario:Measurements of the inclusive photon production performed by the ATLAS collaboration using an integrated luminosity of 4.5~fb$^{-1}$ are reported as a function of the photon transverse energy in different fiducial regions covering a wide acceptance. A comparison to the data of next-to-leading order QCD calculation JETPHOX with different PDFs is presented. The impact of the measurements to constraint the gluon PDF is also evaluated. The cross sections for photons produced in association with a jet are also measured by the ATLAS collaboration using an integrated luminosity of 37~pb$^{-1}$ as functions of photon and jet kinematics and are compared to JETPHOX calculation. The theoretical uncertainties, including scale, strong coupling, and PDF uncertainties are evaluated for all predictions. Data and theory usually show a good agreement within uncertainties, except for the azimuthal angle in the photon + jet case.
