Everybody is looking to find their style and have more consistent “look” with their street photography. Unfortunately, there’s no secret, and there’s really only one answer in my opinion-
- Make photos more consistently
When you make more photos, your vision will unfold naturally over time spent working in the world. Instead of trying to cultivate a style based on a focal length choice, color or black and white, layering versus character based work, documentary storytelling versus abstract and artistic approach, just focus on creating more. You don’t necessarily have to limit yourself to one way of working, but just simply working, and staying disciplined, over a long period of time, will get you to where you want to be.
I photographed to see
I simply treat photography as a way for me to see the world clearly. The more that I chip at life, through snapping the shutter, the more I become closer and closer to how I personally view the world. If you treat photography this way, as not only a way for you to discover the external world, but your internal voice, your soul, and how you perceive things, you will become more fruitful in the art of street photography.
