Something you do over and over again. Something you go back to. Something that you found for yourself after attempting nearly everything else. No one can tell you what your style is. You discover it on your own, your own personal journey.

Hi Gennaro. Generally, someone's style would be something that we would recognize as their work before we even saw their name just like many times people guess correctly the photographer when scoring challenge entries.
I've seen many times where people have said things about water or milk drop shots something like "This must be Irene". That's a style that she is well known for.
One of my styles, for example, might be my closeup shots of heron type birds, or my wide angle shots of kitesurfers, or my recent work with mangrove panoramas. I haven't been participating enough recently for my style to be recognized however, but those are some of my styles.
Your portfolio is so varied that it is hard to identify a particular style that you tend to repeat with the possible exception of two of your highest scoring challenge entries...the HDR shots. Those might be a recent style for you.
edit to add: See! Even as I was composing this post, Citadel used Irene as an example:

Looks like your style is great versatility! In my opinion, it's the best style! Just seems to keep the mind open, to new ways of seeing.
After all, variety is the spice of life. Keep up the great work!

I disagree, those are not actually styles but more of subjects. A style is how you do it, not what it is you do. Sure people can have preferred subjects but it does not make the style. How many people take portraits? Thousands. yet, how do you identify a portrait artist over another? Their style, how they treat their image, how their subject looks and bottom line how they capture the moment.
Anyone can push a button and capture something. Does not mean it has or is style.

I agree with you that the subject doesn't define the style. What I am talking about is, in fact, the style in which I capture the heron type birds by getting extremely close to them like few others do or are even able to.
My style of kiteboarding photography is not to use a supertelephoto like many others do, but instead use a very wide angle lens at extremely close proximity in which I often get soaked and twice nearly got my head taken off. This type of "in your face" capture of the kiteboarder produces very different results than when shooting from a distance with a zoom.
Granted, in the mangrove example that I mentioned to Gennaro I didn't specify what makes it my style. But my mangrove shots are certainly different than anything that I have seen anybody else to and I consider my method of capturing them unique and the images also unique.
Again, I agree that it isn't the subject that makes the style, but rather how you capture the images and that is what I was referring to. |

Hi Robert, I agree with you. for example during the Umbrella challenge I was sure that this  photo come from Coley. Effectively in last months I have some feeling with the HDR images. Oh I always say that photography is a cultural and emotive phenomena also and hence the style sometimes come from your mind and sometimes from your soul. why sometime we don't submit the best shot but we submit the shot that we "see"? probably even this could be a style... |

You just effectively proved what I said. A style is not WHAT you shoot but HOW you shoot it. It is also HOW you present it.

I think it would be fun if all who enter the challenge list their names in this or another thread created for the purpose. That way, we could all look through various portfolios and make a more educated guess as we vote. This would help out newbies (such as myself) in guessing the styles of others and being associated with my own style.
Thoughts???? =) |

That kills anonymity and possible turn it into a popularity contest. Plus, there is no way I am going to dig through portfolios to find someone's style L()L just too much work. However feel free.
