I’m going to share a story about shooting crappy pictures then share a recent comment from one of y’all regarding our last critique that’s worthy of taking some time and thinking about what we do. At the turn of the century I was photographer for Apartments.com. The image above is one I shot for them in [...]

Photography critique returns and this time with a special guest! Our good friend and fellow photographer, David Jackson, was in town this week for a job. We had he and his studio manager, Trevor, over for dinner along with our studio manager, Dan, and we wrangled them all into a critique.  Good food. Good beer. [...]

Welcome to episode 12 of Photography Critique. We take a look at four sites and I do my best to stay on track, make my point, and move on. Trying to take your critique of our critique to heart as best I can! Still can’t stop gabbing though. Hour and 12 on this one. I’m [...]

We start out this critique by answering some questions from emails and comments here on the blog concerning “general photography” and “niched photography.” One thing I forgot to say during this recording concerning narrowing your vision with photography… Remember there is a massive influx of photographers coming into the industry right now and many of [...]

After taking a break for a week or so I’m glad to bring you episode 7 of Photography Critique. Today we look at the work of Melissa, David, and Josh. These are three photographers who all have a very solid skill set and are needing to find their vision before they really start taking ground [...]

Here is the second half of last night’s critique. Or should I say this morning’s critique. Yes, we do get a little too chit chatty at 1:30am as Casper noted in the comments of episode 5. We will tighten that up a bit for sure. For this second half episode we look at two very [...]
