Light streaming through a window or door and situating the model just right so you have the perfect play of light and shadow. Something like this:

This was asked on another site, on another board, and almost everyone here has answered like almost everyone there.

It was told to me that there is more to your style than the genre of your goal, or the look and feel of your goal; your style can be defined by many other factors as well.

Though I don't consciously shoot for a particular style or genre,I seem to be known on the other site as the "bodybuilder glam" shooter.  So, your choice of models can also be an important factor in your "style."

I've been told my black-and-white photography has a distinct look. I find that interesting since I use 4 different cameras and I have experimented with several different film types trying to find what I like to use when.

I can be all over the place as I work to satisfy needs on a number of levels.  I do strive for and have an ability to produce imaging in a single session that will give a model distinct looks that make them wonder if the shots are all the same person.  When I hear, "wow, look how different I look!" I've done my job correctly...that is, if they like it!

Intense...glossy...saturated...color...and I use PhotoShop and other editing programs to the point of no return.  I make any "traditional" photographer cringe and want to run screaming from the room...

Still working on a signature style, but I would say it probably involves detail and committment to a particular idea.

Signature style?  Complete mediocrity.  Underexposed, unclear composition, with an emphasis on muddled focus.  No frills.  No fluff.  Just plain crap.  It's a competitive area (crappy work that is), as people are constantly trying to outdo me and be even worse than I.  And certainly there's no patent on mediocre images.  But I pride myself as an innovator at it, to be sure...

Pale with bright (usually red) lips.

*realizes half the stuff currently in her port goes against this style!*

Also, not smiling too big. I look like a shar-pei when I do that.

Hey Staci! That sound like our past 2 shoots! That also seems to be the direction I am heading also. I love glamour and pinup - those "fetish" outfits can be sooo cool!

I can't find any consistent style to my photography - model or otherwise.   It's all pretty unique.

i'm not really sure how to classify it. dreamy, soft focus, vaguely erotic, low-tech, mostly b&w film. someone recently left me a nice tag and described my work "like looking through clouds to this semi-naughty place."

much more interesting than anything i can come up with.

1.  I am a pervert
2.  I have a weird sense of humor.  Some compare it to a 3rd grader's
3.  I am a diva when I want to be....which is a majority of the time!  (Voice infliction: j/k evidently!)

Elegant and idea driven, always with a palpable edginess - Lots of strong contrast and attentive lighting.

My work is every bit as serious as I am.  I never make jokes.

I am known for three things, really, which one might say collectively are my style:

1.  The sheerly unbelievable size of my ass.  One boyfriend claimed, with great pride, that it has its own weather system. 

2.  My ability to emote in front of a camera, even when it comes to the more vulnerable emotions.  Incidentally, there has got to be a better verb out there than "to emote," but I can never seem to find it.

3.  My ability to pick out a great photographer at 50 paces. 

I'm quick on the draw, too.

Oh I almost forgot. Something ALWAYS goes wrong on one of my shoots.

So far I've electrocuted a model, fallen in a hole, gotten countless pairs of jeans dirty, toppled a light, walked through wet concrete, broken a door, and dodged crap (literally).

At least I'm exciting.
