This review will focus on photometric observations of evolved stars in the Magellanic Clouds. Emphasis is placed on red and near-infrared measurements, as these allow reasonable estimates to be made of bolometric magnitude and temperature for reliable placement in the physical HR diagram. The review is divided into three parts: field stars, cluster stars, and red variables; a summary of the surveys for objects in each of these areas is also given. Particular attention is drawn to the intermediate-age stellar population, as this component appears to be the primary tracer of the star formation rate and chemical enrichment history of the Clouds.
