Self Identified Competition
I would say over the brook photography in clio on main Street. She has a beautiful well lit, established studio and is well know in our community. Another one is leni kei photography located in the heart of downtown flint. Her work mesmerizing and she also o e of my favorite humans/ photographer to work with. I have shot with leni 3 times. As I listed above, Brooke, leni are some amazing photographers in our area. The thing that sets us apart from one another is our style. Every single photographer has their own style of work , our images are our art work. My style is more boho country style. Brooke has a more fairytale kinda style, and leni does alot bold bright colors. I think we all have a unique style and it's kinda like our own trademark. So to sum it up we have very different yet unique styles.
