In this month’s critiques we discuss:
As always, we had a huge range of different photos and topics to discuss in these critiques, from perspective and getting down low, through to editing eyes, and thoughts on the storytelling/purpose of our photos. Thank you everyone for submitting!
Thank you to everyone who submitted an image for critique!
Remember, you can learn so much by watching these critiques, even if you didn’t submit an image so make sure you put aside some time to have a look, there’s a heap of information here across a range of topics!
Quick note: When I got to the 2nd last image to critique my computer had a melt down- or at least, the screen did. I had to critique the last 2 images on an airbnb TV screen so I’m really sorry if I got everything wrong or made comments that make no sense when looking at the image on normal screens, but my computer’s screen is totally dead and I was afraid there would be no critique at all.
Here comes the October critiques! As always, a great selection of image, thank you to everyone for being brave enough to put your work up for feedback! I really hope you learn a lot not only from your own critique, but others’ too.
Remember, as I said last month, that I don’t know the full story behind your images. I always get messages after a critique saying: “yeah but…” or “oh it was like this because…”
Remember that in the “real world”, whether that’s with clients, your audience on Instagram, or whatever it happens to be, they won’t get that back story either. If you are making a statement, then make it. If I’m interpreting the image “wrong”, then that is my interpretation – art, photography, is subjective. Someone else might see it exactly how you intended.
If I say something like: “Maybe there was some noise here and you used denoise?” and you didn’t, that’s ok! But then maybe it’s worth looking into why the fur looks how it does, or what’s led me to wondering about your image. 🙂
Use the link below to submit an image for the monthly critique session! Every month, I will collect the submitted images and provide feedback on them. Your image will not be shared anywhere without your permission, and the feedback video will only be shared amongst members of the site on the secure vimeo channel.
Video instructions on how to upload are below.
Instructions:
Once again, this month is split into two parts – sorry! I just don’t feel like one piece of information is enough, but then the recording ends up super long. I figure that you would all rather get more useful and in-depth feedback than shorter feedback and a shorter video right? Please let me know in the comments.
