I will also wax eloquent about finding your photographic style by showing off mine

Today the main game is happening on @photogames, but I have my own little game that we can play which will assist you in playing “Who Took It Wednesday”

This picture was taken 12 years ago and I like to think I have a similar style then and now. However partly because I've re-edited since then and imprinted it anew.

THE @PHOTOGAMES MAIN GAME
The game over on @photogames is to match the images with the Photostars who took them. This requires you to get a feel for all of our looks/styles. Some of the other Photostars are doing posts like mine, so go to their accounts to see if they have one, or just look through their images and see if there are any hints.

@derekkind
@caseygrimley
@aweber
@jarvie
@gabyoraa
@asgarth

The prize pool for the main game is 6 Steem

The Who Took It Wednesday post on @photogames is here

For years I've been known wedding photographer because that's how i've made my living then and now. I like to think my landscapes are similar to my portrait work

MY MINI-GAME

This game should help prepare you for the main game.
Take a look at the pictures in this post and write a 1-2 sentence description of “MY STYLE”
I'll do some votes and maybe even a little prize if there's a description that I'm in love with. Ok in fact I will indeed send some STEEM someone's way for a really good description I feel drawn to. Then I'll use it the next time someone asks for a Bio. haha

How much of a prize? I say let me decide that when you post and you never know maybe my pockets are feeling even more loose after you schmooze me a bit. So be happy I'm not stating it now.

LEARNING FROM THIS GAME - ABOUT YOUR VOICE

Me and most photographers always learn and grow and dabble with different looks trying to find what resonates with us the most. A look that shares what is in our heart. Some people take a long time and keep changing. Sometimes constant change is what they want to be known for, that is their style to never get pegged down as they would call it. But even if the look of the picture seems to change they may be surprised to not that there is usually going to still be a theme or a signature in their pictures that lasts. Something that makes it their art and their voice... and it's not always a color set or a style of edit. I think as a person works to experiment and find their voice they can start to see patterns in other people's work. I'd like to think that you can reverse that process as well... Perhaps if you're able to play this game and go to our posts and get a feel for the styles it will in turn help you to internalize a bit more what your own style may be. However this game isn't as straight forward since some people are trying to trick you. So you have to look for more clues. But still the exercise is legit. Do you have a style?

I WILL HELP YOU NAIL DOWN YOUR STYLE
I challenge you all to do a post like this, share this post and then link your post here in the comments I'll go over to your post and try to come up with my own description and maybe that will help as you're still figuring out your style. Maybe ask a few questions and then see if I can be of an assistance.

Making the best of any situation I'm in, any weather and not just dealing with weather or light but showing off that weather and light in the "best light"

WORDS HAVE I HEARD IN THE PAST?
Personality, Fun, Vibrant, Contrast, Real, Unscripted, Colorful, Candid.
I know which compliment resonates with me the most... but I kinda don't want to lead the jury. We shall see what you come up with.

I'll share my favorite and my own way

WELCOME TO A TOUR OF MY STYLE

We associate styles with the types of pictures that are taken. I do weddings.

But you see a beautiful toyota tacoma shot on your feed and it's likely to be mine.

and i'm more than happy to be associated with pictures of beautiful friends

Certainly bright colors that are just on the border of real life and magical. But you still inside always know "Jarvie doesn't even own photoshop"... If I did I'd probably replace my boring skies more often.

The color pallette isn't always the same it changes to show off the mood and personalty of a place.

Sometimes you wonder if that's real life... but this really was how it was that morning... at least the way my eyes/my mind/ my heart saw it. Seriously the most beautiful sunrise i've ever seen.

I bring that color and life into the mundane... even cows slobbering on a fence, just like any day of the week.

But don't be surprised to see a B&W, it's rare but I would like to think my fingerprint can be seen all over this. Do you get the feel for what's going on here?

I like to think my friends use my pictures in all their publicity stuff even old ones that are like 5 years old because there's something about it that describes how they want to be seen. Or it's fun and playful and doesn't take itself too serious

Even if the shot is of me... I should be able to stamp MY LOOK into the edit.

And finally you'll mostly see me doing a TON of panoramas these days!
