Or what drives your style of photography?
I know I'm still looking for my style.

There are things I'm comfortable with (post prod, work in the dark, be alone when I shoot, looking at everything -most of the time in the sky or on the ground- the beauty of nature.)
There are other things I'm not comfortable with (shooting people, struggling with time, not having to the to look around before I shoot) etc...
these images motivate me

The best response I've ever seen to this question came from a short video by the renowned photographer William Klein.
I'm always amused when some nonsensical, tersely worded, seemingly harmless question like this precipitates pages of navel-gazing. It's so typical of photo forums!

All well said and, belatedly from me, thank you for joining us.I don't take it for myself (as every beginner, I often think that everybody is against me)
But anyway, nobody can hurt my feelings anymore, I started to play poker. It cures my shyness very well.
And one should always accept any criticism from someone more talented than oneself, you can take it and throw it away once it has served well (a bit like your favorite handkerchief) but you still have to take it, and be kind yourself.
I once had a very kind advice from Georges Fevre (that's the point in the post where I want you to know that I knew someone famous - end of the point). And he said to me: The "better" is the enemy of the "good"- with an air of "take that and go away". It was in 1993 and I'm still puzzled...

Nor is painting art, unless, by design or chance, it is!I am of the kind that think photography is not really art. I know it sounds stupid, but to me it's more like craftsmanship. There's is a minimum of technical achievement that one must reach making a print out, the perfection is elsewhere.
