GROW as a photographer through professional constructive critiques.
The only way to grow as an emerging photographer is to receive good honest critiques on your ongoing work. But most emerging photographers never receive or avoid real feedback, turning instead to to the limitations of social media, camera clubs or friends who are not objective or even qualified to coach. What I offer through professional critique is a rounded learning experience, not a superficial response. To each critique I bring expertise gained from over 30 years of photography, portfolio reviews and teaching at the university level. We can review individual images, a project series, photo-composites or a portfolio in progress.
I offer my critiques via Zoom:
• Once payment is completed we have a brief phone conversation to plan the first two or all sessions.
• You will then receive a Zoom link to join me where you can share your screen to show me images for critique.
“After traveling in Cuba with Dave, I was wanted to keep learning from him. Through his personal critiques, I learned so much more than I had in years showing my work at my club and posting in online groups. Dave took the time to not only comment honestly and helpfully on each photo, but also discussed other ways to approach my subjects, my processing, cropping, and even how to craft a personal style. I am now a more informed and equipped photographer, and show my work with more confidence.” — Albert E., Carmel, CA
Here is how we work together:
- Inquire by email, ask any questions you might have, and choose your preferred method of critique.
- You receive three (3) critique sessions (up to 20 images per session = 60 images) for $650.
- We can optionally schedule these sessions over up to three months’ time to give you practice time in between.
- I will send you our private Zoom link for all sessions. You can record these sessions on your own computer.
- My critique addresses all aspects of your photographs, including: composition, point of view, aesthetics, timing, technical feedback, LR or PS processing, specific requests, and anything else I feel you can learn from.
- You can re-submit images for a second review at any time.
- Additional sessions can be added at any time after the initial three.
- Before our sessions, be sure you know how to screen share and have set your permission settings to allow recording.
- Please see payment method options below.
