ABSTRACT
As an emerging photographer, it’s important to recognize and develop readers unique photographic style, which could also be referred to as their voice: “a unique and recognizable artistic style that is distinctly their own; their inspiration, their materials, techniques, themes and color palette all working together in a way that looks like it comes from them and no one else.” In Angela Faris Belt’s book The Elements of Photography, she talks about finding a singular thread. Faris Belt says thatThe thread is the singular overarching concept or theme that she believe runs throughout nearly every serious artist’s work. Although the readers might have numerous portfolios, there is likely a single thematic thread running through all of them. If they’re new to photography, then pay attention for their thread to emerge; the sooner they identify it, the sooner they’ll be making the pictures that lie along the path of their real interests.
