I feel that it really does take a lot of shooting and work to find your own VISION. A vision is about the way you see, while a style is a set of technical parameters that apply to a set of photos (images done with a short lens, in black and white, with hard contrasty lighting, on location, with people in the corners of the image – that’s a style, not a vision).

I believe that the best way to develop one’s vision more quickly is to shoot in a way that makes you very conscious of the choices you make. (Get ready, here comes the plug.) I think that without a formal education many photographers fail to do that, and get lost or hit creative ceilings.
