Photographic Style Reflection


This week I learn about how to define your own style in photography and here are some points I gathered:


◙   Style is always developing. Style can always change with new experiences and new inspirations. Sometimes a current style can become outdated for us which may fuel us to start developing into different styles and ideas. This is perfectly okay.

◙   Listen to what doesn't work. Being honest with who you are is vital in developing one's style. When we are shooting it is important to pay attention to our personality. Our photography shows our personality. What did you like? What don't you like? Is there something that you feel uncomfortable about? Reflect on these things.

◙   Look at other artist's work. It is good to look at other sources for inspiration. There might be something about another artist work and reasoning that you resonate with and could spark a really good idea. Always look for inspiration.

◙   Take your own journey. Don't rob yourself trying to be a copy of someone else. Embrace your likes and dislikes. Be authentic. Everyone is different. It is important to remember that our differences is what makes us unique and stand out.

◙    Shoot a lot. Shooting consistently will help you to develop your style. Not only that, but also improve on your shooting skills. Always pay attention to what you like and what you don't like shooting. Shoot what you enjoy taking pictures of most and do it a lot.

  Exposure Control    Student Name: Euphemia  Agbaw -Ebai   Student Number: B00125770   Image 1                        Shutter 1/1600. Aperture F/14. ISO 6400. 34mm.   This is the picture I chose for differential focus. It is the end of a sulking branch of a tree. My aim was to focus the leaves closest to me and blur the background. In other words have a low depth of field. I think this picture came out really good. The focused part of the plant came out clear. It was isolated in its space and surrounding which probably made it easier to come out with a blur in the background. I had multiple attempts . I had switched to the aperture priority mode on the camera to see what camera the setting would give me for the shutter speed. I then found it easier adjusting the settings in manual mode. While taking shots, I moved closer and further away from the subject. I found that I got better shots being closer to the subject. Image 2                             Shutter 1/60. Aperture F/5.6.

I had to lay down on the ground to get this angle. I was trying to get an angle that makes the lines on the floor look like they are leading out to somewhere which I think I achieved in this shot. Image 2 F/5.6. 1/60s. ISO 800. 49mm. Vertical lines This is an image of a tree I took outside of my house. I could notice how the leaves of the tree were all pointing downwards and formed lines.  Image 3 F/5.6. 1/25s. ISO 400. 25mm.
