As I pointed out in another post (I'm not sure whether here or on the Philosophy of Photography forum), unfortunately, to be successful as an artist of any kind in our society you have to commodify yourself by creating an identifible image by which people can recognize your work (and you).

That doesn't mean you have to limit what you do - just be very careful about how you present it. Pick one of the styles that you like that you also think has a market and emphasize that. (That is, if you want to make some money doing this. If not, then you can do whatever you want.)
