Changing Styles

So up to now I have been a very adamant about staying away from the washed out, pale faces, "vintage" look but its starting to grow on me. I am thinking, if it were MY portraits what would I like? And I've come to the conclusion that I would like my pictures to have some sort of a dreamy look to them not so much vintage washed up desaturated look, but more of a dramatic shadows, bold colors , interesting angles kind of look but that is just me. There are already a lot of photographers who do the vintage look so I am focusing on obtaining or creating actions that will reflect my creative style.
