Do You Know Your Visual Signature? – Part 3

Working with a 50mm focal length and a 1x1 aspect ratio (see previous 2 post) gave me a better picture (pun definitely intended) of what my visual signature is with my ongoing principal projects.  The images above have a 50mm focal length and a 1x1 aspect ratio.  The images below have a (1) 135mm and (2) 300mm focal lengths with a 1x1 aspect ratio.  Both of those projects will stay at the 3x2 aspect ration I normally photograph at, as I feel it serves my visual signature well, especially after doing this.  It’s not that I don’t like the results because, yes, I do like the results.  I just believe I have other projects that 50mm and 1x1 will work better with – in particular, my Victor Valley Project which initially was at 50mm and 1x1, for a time.  I’ll have to create some new work with that project and share that with you soon.  This experimenting with focal lengths and aspect ratios has helped me to take a closer look at how I can better communicate with the viewers of my photography.  And it also helps me dial in the motif of my artistic style, or rather, my visual signature in my work.

If you haven’t done so, you should experiment with your visual signature.  I imagine that creative ideas will spring from doing this exercise.  And I think you will have some new fun while you are at it.
