Hey Reader,

Have you ever felt that choosing your style is much harder than it sounds? Do you get caught in the paralysis of overthinking, what style to choose, resulting in you feeling inconsistent, or maybe even thinking that everyone else's style looks cohesive, but yours doesn’t?

Well, let me be the one to tell you you’re not the only one.

The problem with overthinking your style is, that as creatives we often try to find ourselves in our style.

But it’s not the only way to do it.

I personally like to think of ‘someone’s artistic style’ as an expression of a part of them, which may or may not be seen from the outside.

Take it from me and my exploration of my photography style.

I started with vintage farmhouse style with lots of flowers, vintage linen aprons, and feminine elements. I still love this style. But it’s not who I mainly am. I don’t have a house like that, or live like that. But that doesn’t mean I can’t focus my style on creating photos like that.

While understanding yourself is highly helpful in creating your personal style, it can also restrict you. It can prevent you from trying out other bold, creative ideas and finding the style you enjoy photographing. Or even finding a style that clients would love to hire you for.

Remember, creative growth requires exploration.

So the problem isn't that you haven’t found your style… you just haven’t created it yet!

Because creative freedom doesn’t come from choosing one look. It comes from mastering the tools behind it.

In my work with my students, I’ve seen that the students who master lighting are those who are the first to:

🌟 stop copying,

🌟 experiment without fear,

🌟 create intentional portfolios.

They grow successful photography businesses and get consistent clients.

When you create intentionally, clients feel the difference..

And that’s why I always advise anyone to explore light when they feel stuck with their style, no matter their skill level (and I do the same).

When you understand light, you’re not guessing, but rather directing and creating on purpose.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start building your style, here are your options:
