(Guide to Critiquing Images)

There is a lot more then just ‘making’ pictures if the professional photographer is going to be successful. They must keep up with the latest technology in both camera systems and accessories. They must keep up to date with the ever-changing business practices if they are to profit from their image making and they must constantly market their services if they want those profitable assignments. But most important of all the professional photographer must learn the discipline of critiquing photography if they want to improve their image making capabilities. That’s what this workshop is all about: Critiquing Photography, Yours and Others. Here we will take a close look at over 75 images and begin to understand why some images work and why others don’t. We will review images that have different types of themes: light, color, focus and composition. We will see how to find pictures in simple locations and what makes the difference between snap shots and images that communicate. We will examine images from different photographic disciplines: people, action, travel and nature. Learning how to critique photography is a very important discipline and this workshop will help you build the skills needed. This workshop contains 84 minutes of optional instructional video clips.
