"Styles are not entirely easy to come by, but a clever photographer can find one without twisting his soul for it. A vision is more difficult and more rare. Style depends largely on surface components such as composition and contrast, on aesthetics, on a consistent eye, sometimes on gimmicks. Vision probably draws as much from the life as from the eye, from the heart as well as the brain, from the complexities of personality more than from ingenuity or mastery of craft......Sometimes a style is developed perhaps unconsciously, because no adequate way to convey the vision immediately presents itself. Although vision obviously goes deeper than style, it is not necessarily better and certainly not always more likeable, for a style may be superficial but charming, whereas a vision can be sincere without being profound."
