June Meeting
Finding Your Photographic Style
Art Becker
Live
Details
Social media can make photographers feel their work can’t measure up. Instead, step back and ask what makes a photograph beautiful to you. Seek out the types of images that draw you in, then shoot with intention–envision the scene, position yourself for light and composition and wait for the right moment. Capture what is most meaningful to you, and your most genuine, authentic style will follow.
