The iss...You have a handle on this - its all sound. The issue of visual style though is one students agonise over developing a of a perception of need,even a feeling of loss that they don't have one after a short period of study. Martin Parr didn't need a style to take pictures- he didn't develop one, he just took pictures. The same for many others Winogrand - Bresson two street photographers - completely different agendas.This may be where the style comes from ? It is continuing to deliver photography in the area that interests you that will hone your approach rather than a choice to only use a 16mm or a 300mm lens for everything.There is a familiarity even an intimacy with the equipment you use that is also honed. Its a bit like a painter having favourite brushes that feel good and always deliver.<br />It is removing the irrelevant and delivering the "in your face " pertinent that makes it an obvious style. Just keep seeing and underpinning it with relevance (WHY) and all will come good in the end.Mike Kinseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193354263851841041noreply@blogger.com
