If you shoot them with a cannon, certainly, although nobody is likely to hear you!

I have been drawn towards portrait work in natural environments. In PP I seem to tend use a heavier than normal vignetting around the subject. It seems to compliment my subjects better. Not really a style in shooting but definitely noticeable in pp.

If you shoot and vignett street people faces to depict the ravages of deprivation, time and drugs you have a style.
If your wife shoots them with their basket carts and multiple layers of clothing she has a different style.
On the other hand, if you only shoot well endowed scantily clad blonds, you don't have a style, you have a problem.

None for me because that means i get all the fine brunettes who usually have lower maintenance costs.

other than one who always had a moon in the shot, another who had a bicycle, and one
who included her reflection i can't think of anyone who displayed a consistent style.
Anyone come to mind for anyone?

I have a book of George Rodriguez's Blue Dog paintings! Yes, silly; yes, repetitive, but fun. While I don't see myself as ever having one style, I named my studio "Studio:Ginkgo" because I have spent a lot of time doing monoprints of ginkgo leaves. They are never the same. Not done with them yet...

I apologize for being so late to join in here. For some reason I didn't receive the daily email today. This is a great topic. Interestingly, I'm undergoing a change in style. Seriously, I am. For years (40+) I've been a composition focused travel and landscape photographer. Over the last year to year-and-a-half I've been steadily gravitating from those genres toward simpler, more abstract images. The images I'm most eager to shoot have shifted from the "packed with detail" image to the minimalist images. My new style moves me to find more symbolic elements and to run from the cliche.

i think the reason there are so few with defined styles is because requires
dedicated effort, artistic view or a strange way of looking at the world.
Most of us pay lip service to learning and achieving earth shaping images but
end up just shuffling along, dabbling in whatever the fad of the moment is.
And thats ok, after all its only a hobby for most of us.

Hi SS and everyone responding to this inquiry. Style, hmmmm, let me see. Yes I do believe I have a style, one of nature, things out of the ordinary, things that we don't think about taking a picture. I recently was able to be involved in a real gallery along with plenty of artists, and I actually sold 8 photographs. I was really surprised because now I can say I have actually galleried and sold! Wow that was fun, and will be submitting some for review in hoping I will get approved or picked I should say. The things I to photograph as I said is nature and I will upload one for you all to see. I call this one "Drunken Bee". I normally take pictures around where I live and haven't really had the opportunity to travel, so close to home is where I can find some interesting things. When I actually cropped this in closer, I started laughing because this little guy is just covered in pollen. Needless to say, he was having a great day. Hope you enjoy. Victoria

rd, no need for apologies, the one that should be apologizing is ADMIN for not sending you the daily email!!! Shame on Admin, probably just a power trip!!! LoL
I think if someone has a strong style and changes genres, they will probably quickly develop a new style. Those advanced enough to put their stamp on a genre are already seeing in a unique way and will always continue to do so. It's just how they go about thinking about their work and don't stop just because they change genres. It may take a while for others to identify it as your style but the uniqueness is already there, even if it's a very different genre!
One of the most famous art styles is the Sculptor, Botero. If you see even one piece, you can spot his work anywhere, forever!!! Thanks!
