I asked how people found their photo style. Then I actually tried what you said.

A few weeks ago I posted asking how you knew what your style was. The thread went somewhere I didn't expect. Most of you said the same thing differently. Stop looking forward for it. Look back. So I did.

Went through about two years of photos in one sitting. Not to edit, just to look. And something did show up. I gravitate toward distance over closeness. I keep reaching for longer focal lengths even when I don't need to. Most of my shots have one subject with a lot of breathing room around them.

I didn't decide any of that. It just kept happening. The comment that stuck with me most is where someone said their style came from a constraint, not a choice. A lens that wasn't right for the moment. A habit they never questioned. That reframe helped more than any deliberate exercise would have.

Still early. But looking backward worked. Thanks for that.
