This is such a good discussion I would like to ask if anyone here believes that some DPCers actually have a style that is appreciated. IMHO, yes. Heida has a distinctive and beautiful style, as does Grigrigirl. No doubt there are a few more (that do not jump to mind) that produce an excellent and stylish photograph. |
kiwiness and magnetic9999 come to mind as dpc'ers with a style of their own. Mustn't forget Jacko, perhaps the most distinctive here. |
While we're naming names :), let's not forget librodo.
His pictures always jump out at me, they cannot be anyone else's. You can know it is his just from the picture, and for me that is style.

No, she didn't mean the poet acted in the poem or the poem was about the poet but that there was an ASPECT of the poet in the poem. A quality where, if you read enough poetry you could say, "Hey, that's a Frank O'Hara." Or a William Carlos Williams. you get the idea. Give your images you.

I can't tell, if this post is a satirical comment or a straightforward one.
Ann Geddes' work is about as far removed from any photographic style I can think of. Her photographs are a commodity fit for consumption, which, by my very personal evaluation, comes very close to an exploitation of both subject (a vulnerable one, at that) and prospective buyers (appealing to sentiment as opposed to real feelings).
I (opinion!) consider her work objectionable for these reasons. |

Anne Geddes does indeed have a style. It is one I would compare to those tooo cute little kitten picture with the big eyes from back in the 70s. Her work is easily recognizable as her own, so she has a style. I just can't see how anyone would consider any of her photos the best of anything unless maybe you were at a flea market. You can almost always find an Anne Geddes print or poster at any given flea market.

I think Dahkota meant give your images some spirit and soul. That is how you develop your own style. I agree with her 100%
