Explore, Experiment, and Create Your Signature Look.

If you are picking up a camera for the first time or have years of photos behind you, one of the most common questions creatives face is: What’s my photography style?

Your style is more than just editing preferences or subject matter - it’s how you see the world, how you compose a moment, and how you express yourself visually. The good news? You don’t need to figure it all out at once. With the right tools and time to explore, your style will naturally evolve.

Let’s dive into some of the most popular types of photography styles here:

 

  1. Landscape Photography

Stunning views, golden light, and dramatic natural settings. Landscape photography is perfect for nature lovers and travellers. It teaches you patience, framing, and how to use light to your advantage.

Try it if: You love being outdoors, exploring new places, and capturing the essence of a location.

Great gear to rent:

  • Tripod for long exposures and sunsets



  1. Portrait Photography

Portraits focus on people - expressions, emotions, and moments. Whether it's studio work, street portraits, or candid lifestyle shots, this style is all about connection and storytelling.

Try it if: You enjoy working with people and capturing personality through your lens.

  1. Travel Photography

  1. Still Life & Product Photography

So… How Do You Find Your Photography Style?

  1. Experiment often – Try different genres, cameras, and lenses. Renting gives you access to a wide variety without committing.
  2. Look at your past work – What subjects excite you most? What kinds of shots do you keep returning to?
  3. Let your lifestyle guide you – If you’re always travelling, a compact setup and travel style might suit you. If you love interiors or food, explore still life.
  4. Edit with intention – Editing is where a lot of style comes together. Play with colour grading, light, and mood.
  5. Be patient – Your style will grow and evolve as you do. Keep shooting.
