Outlook will sync all of the contacts in the primary "contacts" folder. Once you get Outlook setup on your computer, you will see that in the "personal folders" tree, there is a folder named "contacts". It is the contents of that folder, that gets synced.

You have two options to "control" syncing to the device.
1) You can put any contacts you do not want to sync with the device into a subfolder in the "contacts" main folder. These will not sync to the phone. You could create a "photography" subfolder and place all of those contacts in there.
2) You can manage the contacts with their assigned categories. You can pick which categories to view on the phone. An inelegant solution at best.

There was a third party sync conduit that enabled more options with the sync, but it has been removed from the companies website.
