In other words, I would think it's a combination of both what you shoot, and how, as a result of whom you are and what drives you to take pictures. Examples might be showing skills or dedication of your subjects. Or their living conditions and struggle for a better life. Or perhaps giving a sense of place. An appreciation of small scale beauty. Spirituality through nature. All of these -- and of course many more - -- could be points of departure.
