Environmental portraiture or journalism can be very powerful with a recurring theme and/or subject. Add some good lighting and a fast lens and you have the makings of a great series. It can eventually become your “look”. Amy Stein has mastered her look and has parlayed it into a worldwide reputation.

From her blog bio:

“Amy Stein is a photographer based in New York City. Her work explores our evolving isolation from community, culture, and the environment. She has been exhibited nationally and internationally has been featured in publications such as Photo District News, ARTnews, Vanity Fair Italia, Money Magazine, Smithsonian Magazine and The New York Times. In 2006, Amy was a winner of the Saatchi Gallery/Guardian Prize for her Domesticated series. In 2007, she was named one of the top fifteen emerging photographers in the world by American Photo magazine and she won the Critical Mass Book Award. A monograph of her series Domesticated will be published in fall 2008.”

Have you started to find a trend in YOUR photography? What is your “look”. Do you even want one? Good questions. Comments?
