[Oct 27, 2:11 PM] Skye H: Hi Shanna_S bet you’re missing hawaii this year
[Oct 27, 2:11 PM] Jena Carlin: Thanks for sharing, Omaily! I would love to hear from more of you… What three words describe you?
[Oct 27, 2:11 PM] Shanna_S: @skye omg yes. We had a month vacation planned. Two islands. Not happening now
[Oct 27, 2:12 PM] Omaily Lucas Mustiola: @Jena. I do feel like I have a diverse “style”. I love everything and even my clothing style differs from time to time. How do I make sure to stay consistent with my photography style?
[Oct 27, 2:12 PM] Shanna_S: My photo style is probably all over the place. I like doing it all, dark and moody, hardlight, soft light, minimal as well as lots of props. Depends on my mood.
[Oct 27, 2:13 PM] Samantha Garner: Just got home from my day job and hopping in!
[Oct 27, 2:14 PM] Samantha Garner: I’m a chemist from Boston, MA with a food blogging hobby on the side
[Oct 27, 2:14 PM] Dama Jue: oooh food + chemistry, cool!
[Oct 27, 2:14 PM] Skye H: @Shanna_S oh how disappointing!! Does that mean you get 2 most later? 😉
[Oct 27, 2:15 PM] Jena Carlin: Omaily, initially we do inherent things without giving it too much thought. If we actually reflect on WHY we like the things we do, our own message becomes more clear. Evaluate what it is about a style that moves you -Compare it to other elements of your life as well.
[Oct 27, 2:15 PM] Samantha Garner: Dama, chemistry and cooking are similar, you just can’t eat it!
[Oct 27, 2:15 PM] Omaily Lucas Mustiola: @Jena: Very good point. I’m going to work on that.
[Oct 27, 2:16 PM] Omaily Lucas Mustiola: Friendly. creative (you)
[Oct 27, 2:17 PM] Jena Carlin: That is great to know about yourself, Samantha! Sometimes the cohesiveness can be reflected in other areas such as the brand color used repetitively or types of food. You can shoot both (light and airy and dark and moody) styles within a similar message.
[Oct 27, 2:18 PM] Samantha Garner: I never thought about it like that Jena! I do know my attention to details and steps helps a lot in cooking! But never applied it to photography
[Oct 27, 2:19 PM] Jena Carlin: 😉
[Oct 27, 2:20 PM] Samantha Garner: Introverted, curious and analytic…how do you know me so well already?!
[Oct 27, 2:20 PM] Jena Carlin: I am excited to see what comes of this revelation, Samantha!
[Oct 27, 2:20 PM] Jena Carlin: lol
[Oct 27, 2:21 PM] Samantha Garner: I’m excited too!
[Oct 27, 2:22 PM] Guest7660: I like the idea of asking others to describe my photos from a style point of view.
[Oct 27, 2:22 PM] Samantha Garner: I think that’s an interesting thing to do with other food blogger friends as well as “normals” as I call them
[Oct 27, 2:24 PM] Jena Carlin: @guest7660 Yes! it is always good to get another opinion. Let’s start a post in the facebook group and we can start adding descriptive words for everyone.
