I have followed Dan Brouillette's photography off and on for a few years now. I don't know how I first stumbled on him back when, likely something associated with senior photography, but his work has lulled me back from time to time and I'm pulled in when I browse through every single shot on his website. He shoots high-school seniors like no-ones business and his work just moves me and captures something unique. That, and he has a deep command of lighting, and off camera lighting specifically. There are many great photographers out there, and there are many very popular photographers whose work is good, but doesn't necessarily move me, or contain that subjective spark that just speaks to me like his does. But that's the inherent beauty of photography; it truly is in the eye of the beholder, and where we find connection points in photographs will vary with every person.

In catching up on his blog, I saw this this piece he posted about a month ago. I think I have yet to read something that articulates the process of becoming a photographer, evolving as a photographer, and more importantly, finding and defining your own style, as well as this. I felt a connection to this post as its mirrored my own thoughts and feeling about photography, especially lately, but I could never articulate it as well. So for all of those looking for advice on starting out, or needing a dose of inspiration when you feel less-than-passionate in certain times, read this.
