For the Pure Photo Workshop we got the assignment to create our own style. I had so much fun and was so inspired by this first assignment.

Introduction:
My name is Jane (36 y), together with my sweetheart and three lovely kids we live on a small farm in The Netherlands.
I started taking photography a little bit more serious 3 or 4 years ago using my first DSLR a Nikon D60. And although time for photography is a big issue here, I still love making photos.
Now I use a Nikon D7000 and both a Nikor micro 60mm 2.8 lens and a Nikor 18-105mm 3.5-5.6 lens.

Assignment:
On Pinterest I made a My Style board to find out what my style is. It was funny to see that my style is not completely the same as my photos usually are. The lightness is the same in my photos and My Style board, but the colors on My Style board are more soft, calm and balanced. The photos I usually make are more focussed on sharp and contrast while My Style is more soft and even. Pinterest inspires me always but now more then ever in the area of photography, what beautiful photos I found there.

If I had to pick one photo that wasn’t made by me but really gave me the feeling ‘this is me’ then I think I pick this one.

A photo that I made myself a while ago fits the My Style board too I think.

July 2010

On May 5th my daughter and I went to a park very close to where we live and found a field full of cuckoo flowers (pinksterbloemen) there. I made some photos and had the feeling this one would fit my My Style board best. I think this photo fits because of the light and the peacefulness in the photo.

Looking forward visiting al the participants blogs.
Thanks Britt for this lovely assignment.
Love Jane

    Great pictures Jane. I can see you in your style as caring, warm and light. Love the picture you made of the flower, great details as well!

    Hi Jane, I will leave the comment for Jade’s blog here as well, as I cannot leave a post myself on her blog. I cannot believe she is only 9 and taking these wonderful pictures. I see a really lively girl, very fresh and colorful, who loves animals. Great pictures of the flowers!

    Great images! I like that you picked an image from your style board that you thought reflected your work. I think both your images would fit in your style board, especially the one of your daughter. Both are light, uncluttered, and very relaxing to view. Nice work!

    I love how you found a difference between what you love to look at and what you take photos of, yourself 🙂 That’s something that can challenge and inspire – and maybe you’re just more than you thought you were 🙂

    The girl on the swing is beautiful – play, space, air, happy, gulping big breaths – dreaming 🙂

    Gorgeous soft coloured photos you share – I love your daughter in amongst the flowers – and I can see a little mischief, a colour explosion that’s not in the photos, but sort of wants to be there 😉

    I love your light, soft and pure pictures.
    It reflects you!
    Misschien veranderd jouw stijl van fotograferen nog meer na de opdrachten.
    Ook ik zal nu weer een heleboel leren!

    Je pinbord is mooi, veel gelijkenissen in wat ik ook mooi vind.
    De schommelfoto vind ik geweldig! En Jade tussen de blommen, goed gevonden! Puur natuur! Net zoals ik daar van hou

    Je foto’s stralen heel veel rust uit! Op je pinterestboard zie ik vooral eenvoud, niet te veel poespas.
    Dat komt ook wel terug in jouw foto’s. Een momentopname, een momentje van rust. Innerlijke rust misschien wel. Dat stralen ze enorm uit!

    Vredig en liefdevol, dat is ook hoe ik jou zie inderdaad. Je stijl is op Pinterest (we volgen elkaar al een tijdje) altijd goed herkenbaar. Mooi! (en je dochter ook, maar dat spreekt voor zich!)

    Wat een schilderachtig beeld schets je in je collage/ moodbord. Wat een heerlijke sprookjesachtige foto’s heb je gemaakt. Mooi hoor het detail van de bloem.
