What you shoot? Or.. HOW you shoot what you shoot


Some photographers have that 'thing' going. That 'mojo' that lets them shoot everything with a style that is totally distinctive. I love it when I see it. I mentioned Kurt Markus earlier and now I want to share Dan Winters with you. Still life, portraits, architecture... all with a distinctive style that transcends the subject being photographed.

His use of light is particularly interesting. Strobe, natural, filled, hot lights, mixed lighting... whatever he decides to use to create that image. That special image. An image that moves the viewer to feel something... even fleeting, is created when technique meets creativity and then gets mixed well ending with something that is greater than each on its own.
