Is evolving your style a good thing or a bad thing? I’m sorry to say—it’s not as simple as it seems! I had a long conversation with a friend of mine about trends and style, if it means you risk losing your signature or is it a way to keep you challenged? We both had very different opinions and I think the topic is worth debating.

The Style Evolution Dilemma

Communicate, Don’t Imitate

Think of your style as a language. It’s not just about the individual elements (or in this case, the shots), but how you combine them to tell a story. Whether you prefer dramatic, moody tones or bright, airy vibes, it’s the narrative you create that attracts your clients.

Why Change Can Be Beneficial

• Keeps Things Fresh: Who wants to have the same meal every day? Changing your style can keep your work exciting and innovative.
• Attracts Different Clients: Like magnets, different styles attract different people. By evolving, you open doors to new opportunities and diverse clientele.
• Personal Growth: Sticking to one style can feel like wearing the same outfit every day. Evolving helps you grow as an artist and keeps you passionate about your work.

But What About Consistency?

So, is evolving your style a good thing or a bad thing? In my personal opinion, It’s all about balance. Keeping your signature strong, but not being afraid to explore and show other things you can do.

What do you think? Would love to know your thoughts.

Until next week,
