How does someone determine their style as an artist? Especially someone whose main career background is in technical documentation and not in anything resembling a creative outlet.
When I picked up my camera for the first time in 2014, I literally had no idea that it would lead to using that part of my creative brain for my full time career in 2020. At one point I had labeled myself as a left-brain thinker. Meaning, I was logical and analytical so there would be no room to be a creative artist.
Have you ever heard of the Left Brain vs. Right Brain Theory? The theory goes that if you are more of an analytical, logical thinker, good with mathematics and engineering, then your dominant side of the brain is the left side. If you are more creative and artsy, imaginative, and in to the arts, then your more dominant side of the brain is the right side.

These are such good tips, especially for new photographers. It can feel so overwhelming to even narrow down editing style so I think these can also apply to more seasoned photographers looking to push themselves.
