When I posted recently to share the link to my Chic Critique, I got one response: “that scares me”. I agree. It scares me, too!
I get emails quite a lot showing me photos and asking me what I think. I don’t usually answer them because I never know where the person is coming from, what criticism they’ve had in the past or what they are really asking when they say “what do you think?”. Critiquing another photographer’s work isn’t easy. There’s a method to offering constructive criticism and I don’t take it lightly.
That said, participating in forums like Chic Critique {which is totally new to me} is a safe way to receive constructive criticism of your work from photographers who, not only know what they’re talking about, but know how to, not only look at an image, but see an image.
When critiquing an image, I come from all different angles. I talk about the composition, the settings used, the editing, etc. I also talk about what I love about the image. And I give tips for things to try in the future. Sometimes, I even edit the photo during the critique. I don’t rip an image apart and leave it for dead.
So what now? There are 10 slots available for active participants in my Chic Critique in March. And there are also a few slots for those who want to sit back and learn from watching everyone’s critiques without submitting their own work {you can dip your toe in!}
And if you’re not convinced that having your work critiqued by a professional can be beneficial, check out this video which shows you a preview of what you can expect if you sign up for my Chic Critique in March.
