We are entering an era where the value of a photo lies not just in its quality but in how well it reflects the photographer's unique perspective. With the growth of social media, anyone can become a creator, and photography has shifted from being just an art form to a means of self-expression.
More than composition or exposure, the phenomenon of 'being drawn to a photo because of who took it' is creating new value in photography culture.

The Unique Perspective That Resonates with Viewers
Photographers who gain followers often have more than just technical skills—they have a consistent worldview. Whether it's capturing the gaps in urban landscapes, the shadows of everyday life, or subtle expressions, how these moments are framed depends on the photographer's sensibilities. Photos that resonate with someone's heart carry a perspective that only the photographer could see.

How to Develop Your Own Photography Style
Clarify what you want to capture, shoot with a theme in mind, and review your past photos—these actions help shape your unique style. Instead of imitating others, continuously ask yourself, 'Why did I take this photo?' This introspection adds depth to your photography.

Finding Moments You Want to Share
The true meaning of a photo lies not in its beauty or 'Instagrammability' but in those moments that inexplicably stop your heart. A bench covered in fallen leaves, light streaming through a gap at sunset, or an unexplainable stillness—these moments can become photos that feel like letters to others.

By focusing on your own sensibilities rather than techniques or 'correct' answers, you can capture 'scenes only you can see.' One day, that unique shot may touch someone's heart.
