Successful photographers and successful fisher(wo)men have one thing in common: A mindset of defining success by the outcome, not the intention.

Are you asking yourself: How do I find my own style of photography? This exercise will put you on the right path to creating the images you’ve always admired — by examining exactly why you admire them.

I get asked this a lot: “What can I do to take more unique and personal photographs?” I believe the key to more personal, more unique, more expressive nature photographs is to make more intentional imagery. A few months ago, I gave this presentation to a local Denver camera club about the power of asking “Why?” every time you take a photograph.
