How can photography form its own style?

We know that photography is an art. If we want to be different, we must form our own style. I sorted out how photography forms its own style. Welcome to appreciate and learn from.

1, looking for the passion of shooting

Work without passion is doomed to be a stagnant pool, which can't stir up any waves. Think about the first time you took the camera. Before you start taking pictures, think about the photos that caught your attention, which will help you feel the passion you have gone through from the beginning. If you have no passion for photography, then style means nothing to you.

2. Forget what others are doing.

Just like other areas of life or art, the trend of photography is constantly changing, and young photographers often copy the styles of other photographers to follow these trends at the beginning. By doing this, the photos you take may be similar to those of thousands of other people, but they disappear into the ocean of many images. Of course, copying is a good way for young photographers to learn and progress, but we must not let other people's ideas dominate.

3. Practice makes perfect.

Although it's good to watch photography tutorials and videos of those tutorials online, it won't actually improve your photography level by yourself. When you finish your study, make sure that you can shoot it with your camera immediately and practice it repeatedly, so that your study can be put into practice.

4. Focus on what you want to shoot, not your equipment.

Equipment can help you take better photos, but it must not be the best photos. One camera is enough. The most important thing is to know what you can shoot at the moment and what you need to shoot what you want.

5, photography skills

Advances in technology have made it easier and more convenient for everyone to take pictures. If you want to be a great photographer, you need to know more and more in-depth technology. You need to master the deeper technology such as light and exposure triangle.

6. Be a problem solver

A good photographer must be a good problem solver. Whenever an idea flashes in our mind, the first thing we have to think about is what kind of skills we need to use to shoot this picture and what kind of lens we need to use to achieve it. Experience and skills must play a decisive role here.

7. success is hidden in the details

Good photos are intentional. Photographers will never let go of every tiny detail in the picture. In the process of shooting, you need to pay attention to every detail in your photo: lighting, background, subject position, important elements and so on. And in some scenes (concerts, events, streets, etc. Where you can't make an accurate plan, your patience, knowledge and understanding of equipment will also help you take better photos and make your photos stand out.

8. Learn to choose

In the digital age, the shutter is not so expensive, so we often take a lot of photos that look similar from the same angle, and then make a choice phobia when we finally choose. These photos are often only slightly different, and the audience may not feel it intuitively. But for photographers, choice is very important. You must have the ability to screen works and choose the most correct one, instead of throwing out dozens of photos that look exactly the same at once.

9. Pay more attention to your heart and brain.

Many iconic classic works often break the familiar rules of composition and light, but they must have one thing in common, that is, the emotional echo caused by photos, which can make viewers quickly connect with the images in the photos. You should let your brain make technical decisions and let your heart choose the most influential pictures to arouse emotions.

10, re-examine your work.

When you have taken100000 photos, do you know what your photography style is? Look back at those photos you took. Perhaps these photos will tell you the answer.

Whether you learn to imitate from others or unswervingly follow your own path and inspiration, over time, you are constantly solving problems, learning, growing, adapting to all this, and casting your personal style bit by bit. Don't forget to be true to your heart at all times.

It is difficult to determine the style in advance. As an amateur, you may not think of it at all. Many times, you shoot whatever you think, but unconsciously, your style has been formed in your shooting process.
