What a great question! I have often wondered if I will "find" my style. I see some photographers here that do have what I would call a particular style to their work. Then I see others, like myself, that have a huge hodgepodge of work in their gallery. I don't do much "set up" shots. I tend to "see" a shot and try to capture what I see.
One thing that I do that I don't really consider a "style" per se, but often try to portray in my photos, is my perception of beauty or interest. I seem to find beauty or interest in the things less seen. I live in an area where photographers are always trying to outdo each other with shots of the same iconic landscape. The well known places! Yosemite is just an example. I tend to seek the road less traveled, the things less seen, the things that I think should be seen. I don't know if you could call this style, but you could probably pick out moods by some of my shots.
