does anyone else have a different taste than their own photography?

Our take

In the world of photography, it's fascinating how our personal tastes can diverge from the styles we create. For instance, I excel in direct flash digital photography with an editorial flair, which my clients adore. However, when it comes to my own wedding, I find myself gravitating towards film photography for its unique aesthetic. This dichotomy leaves me feeling slightly conflicted, as I acknowledge the challenges of film while yearning for its beauty.

hey guys, im pretty decent at direct flash digital photography, editorial vibes and my clients really love it. but personally, i would hire a film photographer for my own wedding. the look i prefer and gravitate towards is not the content i produce. anyone else feel like they personally enjoy a different style of photography than what they make? film is exceptionally harder for me, so i don’t do it much. this makes me feel a bit hypocritical at times, slightly conflicted.

Is it bad to step out of your photographic style?Hi everyone! I have been doing portrait photography off and on between 2023-2025. This year I have been more consistent with it in hopes of turning it into a full time career in the future. Because of my consistency and word of mouth, I have received inquiries for paid photoshoots which I am excited about. However, I am also hesitant because based on the inquiry forms I've received, the potential clients want either grad photos taken or bright, warm tones for their ideal pictures. As I continue to grow, I noticed I mainly strive towards a more moody, grungy look with my photos. I have taken photos outside of my preferred style and I also see other photographers execute both moody photos and bright, upbeat photos. I also think about branding purposes as well and would prefer my portfolio to have that moody look to it. But I feel bad because I feel shallow for feeling a type of way about the desired outcome the clients would like since it's not tailored to my preference. At the same time, I do want any potential client to be satisfied with any photos I take and making sure it fits their vision. I know for a fact taking these photos will help me stay consistent and help me learn new things from these potential shoots but I'm not sure what to do. With that being said, is it better to just stick to my photographic style or step outside of the box? submitted by /u/raddestbtchalive [link] [comments]
