Members’ Photo Critique

The Photo Critique is a member-led, informal way to get feedback on your photos from your peers. We may explore narrative content, visual composition, some camera technique, editing. We may demonstrate Lightroom and Photoshop tools to help you fully express your vision. Participating members offer feedback from different perspectives, making our discussions interesting and lively. Meetings are held Tuesday evenings via Zoom approximately 6-8 sessions per season.

The meeting is open to everyone, from beginners to advanced photographers, and all genres of photography may be submitted. The Critique is non-competitive and constructive; even if you do not upload any images to the Critique, you are encouraged to join us in the discussion and learning.

Member images submitted for review may follow any of these formats:

Selecting your “it” photo: Upload several frames taken around the same time and subject of the photograph you have selected as your “it” photo. In other words, include some images that you shot before and after your “keeper.”   We would like to see how you worked your photo(s) while you were shooting, such as different angles and viewpoints, framing and cropping, or lighting/exposures.

How did you “work the image?” You may include as many of these images as you want (within “reason”). It would be interesting to follow your “working the image” process, as well as your selection process and editing decisions.

Photo Series: A small group of images are submitted with a theme such as place, a style, a mood, a person or any other organizing principle, For this series, we will give you quick feedback on the photos… it’s a chance to get to share some more of your images. The time spent on a series may vary depending on time constraints.

Anything!  If your work doesn’t fit the above concepts, you may submit any work that you would like us to discuss.

For members, details of how to upload images and access the Zoom meeting will be sent via club email.

We look forward to seeing you there!
