When I reflect collectively over my list of 30 contemporary practitioners I see that there isn't actually that strong of a style. I did not select my favourites or photographers I personally am inspired by (although obviously many of them do) but rather to me I took it as an exercise to push the boundaries of what I believe to be 'photography'. The styles, mediums and concepts are all quite varied and do not form a cohesive viewpoint.
However I looked back through them and have created a list of words that describe the work and that can be used to group the practitioners together in similar themes and feels.
