It seems to me that I have developed my own style in photography after all. I don't think about him while shooting, and that's right. The most important thing is to be here and now, to feel something from what you see and to shoot what steals attention at a given time.
The style is either talked about by others, or you can see for yourself by trying to look at your pictures with someone else's eyes, detached, from the outside.
I have some spottiness and almost always the frame is filled with details, if not overloaded.
This applies to all genres, whether it's reportage or nightscape.
I began to cut off the excess at the moment of building the frame in the viewfinder.
And if I need to make a general plan, then I will try to fit as many objects into it as possible.
Everything happens automatically.
And when I don't think about the technical part of the picture, but just give myself up to the sensations, then everything has already been formed.
Over the years, of course, the style will go in one direction or another, but the recognizable principle will not go anywhere.
And now I can say for sure that when learning, becoming, studying photography, you would to go through the copying stage.
There is no point in repeating someone at the very beginning of the journey, you can only break the still unformed view.
Copying is only necessary to hone your skills in the middle of your creative journey and to form your own style.
