A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Defining your photography style (alien.top)

I’m always nervous to use certain language to define my work, because I’m not sure if it really is the way that I’m describing it, or if other people see it that way.

What makes something editorial?

When are you “documentary style” and not just getting candids?

What makes something lifestyle? If I’m a lifestyle photographer but also like to do portraits sometimes, would I be a lifestyle and portrait photographer?

I want to niche down and really be straight forward with what I’m offering and my approach, but often times I’m really not even sure what box I fall into.

If asked what my style is, my response would be something along the lines of...

"I just be snapping shit bruh"

I have a private folder of all my favorite photos and it's a mix of everything. Portraits, landscape, architecture, abstract, etc. The only thing I can definitively say about myself is that I tend to favor wider focal lengths.
