My Favourite Photography Style & How I Developed It

Photography is a beautiful blend of art and perspective. Over time, every photographer develops a unique style that defines their vision. I enjoy exploring different types of photography, especially fashion photography, which I love working on the most. However, nature photography is where I feel most connected to my creativity.

Through this blog, I want to share my journey of discovering one of my favourite photography styles and how I refined it over time.

How I Discovered My Photography Style

When I first started photography, I was curious about every genre—landscapes, portraits, street photography, nature, and even abstract shots. Each had its own appeal, but something about the Nature Photography stood out to me.                                                                                                            

I realized that I was naturally drawn to capturing nature, playing with shadows, using natural framing, and working with natural light. Every time I picked up my camera, I found myself focusing on these elements, which eventually helped me define my creative skills.

The picture above was my first nature photography attempt. “A small bouquet of vibrant yellow flowers rests gently on a bed of smooth, weathered stones.” Doesn’t it look amazing? I found these small flowers very attractive, so I gathered them into a bouquet and placed them on the small stones that were on the sand.

How I Developed My Photography Style

Finding my style was just the beginning—the real challenge was improving it. Here are the steps I took to refine my craft:

1.⁠ ⁠Observing & Learning from the Best

I have spent my time on platforms like Instagram by watching and learning from Famous Photographers.

Their use of composition, lighting, angles, or storytelling helped me understand what makes a photo stand out.

2.⁠ ⁠Practicing Consistently

Practice is the key to improvement. I set challenges for myself, like capturing different moods in the same location, shooting in low light, or experimenting with new compositions. The more I practiced, the more confident I became in my unique approach.

3.⁠ ⁠Understanding Light & Composition

One of the biggest turning points in my photography journey was realizing how light shapes an image. Whether it’s the golden glow of sunrise or the dramatic contrast of shadows, I learned to use lighting to enhance my photos.

4.⁠ ⁠Editing to Match My Vision

Photography doesn’t end with capturing an image; editing plays a crucial role in defining the final look. I explored different editing styles in Lightroom, tweaking colours, contrast, and tones to match my creative vision.

5.⁠ ⁠Finding Inspiration Everywhere

Photography is all about perspective. Over time, I trained my eyes to see beauty in the most ordinary things—textures, reflections, shadows, and fleeting moments. This has helped me refine my style and stay inspired.

Final Thoughts

My photography style is always evolving, but it remains true to my artistic vision. I believe that photography is not just about capturing what we see, but how we see it. 

If you’re still searching for your photography style, my advice is: experiment with different genres, observe your natural inclinations, and most importantly—enjoy the process!
