Photography styles...and how to get one!

[@randallpeck6056]

The reason I admire your work so much is because you so easily move between the genres you shoot and make each shot look so amazingly spot on. And while you move so fluidly between those genres, I usually can recognize your work right away. Your images are joys to behold.

[@TL-xw6fh]

The main reason why I follow your vlogs is that you talk a lot of common sense (and also the wonderful images you take). I wholly agree with your comment about photography at any time of the day. It is becoming so boring seeing all the photos taken around sunrise and sunset. To see great images taken at ANY time of the day demonstrates the skills of the photographer much more! Thank you!

[@crispin8888]

My style is to photograph what I enjoy looking at.

[@StephenBoyd21]

You are all style Craig.. Oh and a lot of substance.

[@mikegindling4236]

Nice video. Good advise.

[@BuildingCenter]

I hope your workshops are crowded. I enjoy your teaching style. Humor and self-awareness?? In a KZbin vidya?! What the hell kind of helpful hootenany? Gotta admit, though, that the closing guitar riff is *always* louder than I expect. Rock on, e6. Rock on.

A few years ago, I decided "my style" is another thing not to worry about. My style is how I like to shoot stuff, it's always been there. A while ago, I was going through some old stuff, found some 120 proofs from the early 90s. I could have made them a few weeks ago.

[@markriches3180]

Miss you on KZbin Craig. Wish you would come now and again ..

[@e6Vlogs]

Mark Riches Ahhh, thanks Mark. I know you do, and I might, but YT has changed and it’s very overcrowded now. I’m still vlogging, but maybe YT is not the platform for me anymore!

[@markriches3180]

@@e6Vlogs I know KZbin isn't all that . So what way do you think you will go in the future . I'm hinting with my daughter's for one your meet photo walk course.. I keeping the hints going lol..

[@e6Vlogs]

@@markriches3180 I'm already there Mark. Been there for 10 years now! The same way everyone will go! (others already have followed. Copycats!) The clue's in the channel name!

[@fellowcitizen]

I see you have constructed your own Olympus OMG style :)

[@andrewfrost8866]

Great common sense, as always Craig.

[@paulus0109]

Very good vlog. I’ am still struggling and it is very good to be reminded on. Thnx

[@Bazzo61]

You definitely have a unique style Craig and I love it! This video has really made me think about creating my own unique style. Thank you.

[@arnolddodich804]

Your videos are always entertaining as they are informative. Glad to see you posting on a more regular basis. Keep it coming!

[@desgardner7169]

I am so glad I dont have a style! I only take pictures when I feel like it, I have always tried to get things right first time in camera, I hate sitting behind a computer for hours changing everything to a point that you cant recognise the scene when you have finished! Perhaps I have a hidden style, but I have to admit I really do like your style of photography, and the way you present your weekly videos, well done and thank you for all the advise.......

[@peterlemke3468]

Yo bro luv ya vid-eo I likes da way ya teach ta me I likes da way ya preach ta me But if ya wanna sing ta me Wear sum more bling fa me. Seriously Craig you are always entertaining and thought provoking not to say educational. Since l saw one of your videos every shoot now l think to myself which camera aspect ratio works best for the image l'm trying to achieve. Result being far less cropping in post and much stronger compositions. Thank you.

[@Arkadiuss55]

great film and idea :)

[@kenhenley7599]

I love your style (and of course your images and choice of music). Just wish you could bottle and sell it on a certain auction site! I'd definitely buy some.

[@othomsen1]

Following a style for a while can be a good way to train your photographic eye.

[@TimberGeek]

It seems some days my style is 300mm (450 equivalent) and slightly out of focus.

[@MrCochise71]

I love to shoot at 24mm and 50mm . Both primes. Great video 👌. And great choice of magazine. 😂

[@sethadam4266]

Musicians play other peoples music, its part of the learning prosses, you play music you admire & once you begin to write your own material you use parts of songs or riffs your familiar with. Its not ripping others off because your own style is like your personality its developed, some people have an eye for color patterns & shapes. If you have a passion you rarely worry about style, self doubt & is my work good enough are a concern of any artist.

[@alexandermenzies9954]

Interesting thoughts. The dedicated I-must-suffer sunrise/sunset landscape brigade miss a lot; in some cases its shots become a generic looking repetition of colours and composition with little to indicate location (it could have been taken anywhere and has no place interest). Added to that, there is the flavours of the year(s) god-awful repetition, you know, those Iceland (I'm sure there are concrete footprints where you have to stand) shots, the mountain range in Patagonia or that island in Norway (Lofoten), et cetera, ad nauseum. Let's face it, if you haven't your set of Fitz Roy shots with dawn-pink mountain tips, you're not one of the herd :-).

[@buyaport]

Nice and true. Many people want their style but few want to be pigeonholed - an old dilemma, since the days of Rembrandt & Co.. Perhaps the clue is here the word "develop"?

[@bioliv1]

You just de-mystified style! So simple, just to buy a 24 mm lens and viola, you have your own style:-)

[@paulcrawley7321]

I shoot what I like and I use lenses from 12mm to 900mm equiv. on 35mm. I have no real style and I am happy to not be stylish but I get what you mean. Great images btw.

[@Noealz]

I think it took me a few years to find mine : )

[@torben0275]

Funny that I watched this video now, a short while after somebody on Flickr commented a photo of mine (flic.kr/p/2h4BZ8t) in a way where you could say that this person referred to something as "my style" (after 14 years on Flickr... :D). Bonus funny because I would say that this photo is not a very good one (suffers from midday harsh light). But yes, for my photography I would certainly say that there is a style. Which came naturally because of how I discovered over the years which subjects, settings, gear, etc made sense and produced images which I could enjoy. But I would not say that I really actively go for that style. So let's say there always a personal bias :-) Oh, and I thought this was a very good sales pitch video! Good luck with these workshops, you might generate some interest. Because if there is something many halfway-serious photographers are looking it is probably developing a style.

[@imagegenius3557]

My style.. to create every image uniquely.. no 2 inages I have created are ever edited the same way... I get bored easily.

[@zardosspinosa6944]

we do what we do in a way that we see and how we process, we can go hard out and try to create a certain style, but that is a trap for making the same old boring images, pbotography is about max exploration, pigeon holing yourself into a style is I think a mistake

[@neilcole3406]

Tattoos and coffee = style? Nope!!!

[@andreasrochow5170]

Hello Craig, your photos are much better than your fundamentalist sermons. What's the matter with you?

[@jxmai7687]

You sound like teacher in the class.

[@andreasrochow5170]

I'm disappointed in your vlog.
