Mt. Hood , Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens, Oregon,
This is a 2 picture opinion pole. The first picture is this one and it was taken with my cellphone and zero post work. Tomorrow you will see a second version with post work. I am trying establish my own style so any feed back would be great.
Personally I don't think that you can consciously establish your own style. I think that your style comes through unconsciously with the continuation of your work. If you just keep on shooting, when you produce enough photos you can look back and your style will be evident. Sure you can establish a favorite subject and concentrate on it, but is it your style or just your subject. Ask yourself what your favorite photography is, shoot it over and over, and see if it is really your style. In short I think your style adopts you not the other way around.
Thank you, food for thought!

For me, photographic style is the link between artistic vision and technique. I found this nugget in a quick Google search: "It can be your choice of subject matter, the way you light or style your subjects, your shooting angle, cropping, a particular colour or tonal range you're drawn to, your post-processing style, or any combination of these and more. Consider those photographers, whose work is instantly recognizable."
