@Beyond Creative: Please, you have to stop photoshoping your photos. I’m sorry to be harsh at you, but you are doing a very sloppy job. Just focus on your photography skills.

I can not thank you enough for posting that youtube video…

On a side note, I am going to need your address so I can send you the dry cleaning bill. I simply am placing the blame on you for making me piss my pants laughing.

Thanks

“Photography calls many and chooses few.”

What a profound statement.

Thank you for your vision! Since watching these critiques, I’ve taken down my online galleries and I’m re-working them with your advice in mind. Please keep these critiques coming!

first of all, love the critiques, Zack. thank you so much for doing these. they’re informative and entertaining!

a question I have on some of the “everyone does those shots”. If, for example, lots of potential clients like the hand/heart/belly maternity shot, wouldn’t you want to show one of those on your site so the client says “oh, cool. i love that shot, and i want it, and i like the way it was done by this person.” i’d say it does more good than harm (the “omg every maternity photographer has that shot on there, i want someone different.”)

i understand the show your best work and show the stuff you want to shoot, but doesn’t the extreme version of that apply more towards editorial versus something like maternity, wedding, or other applications that have “standard” shots? i’m not saying have a site with all the standard shots; for sure, have 95% of your shots show what makes you different, but having none of those shots seems a bit extreme.

I just recently discovered your work/website/critiques when a link to critique #10 was posted on a forum I visit, and I was instantly hooked. Just wondering how long before another critique episode comes out?

It’s a good episode in general. But you can definitely shorten or clip out your comments about the selective coloring, heart on the belly, randomness of the portfolio, etc.

You only had to point out that the person isn’t great at writing and there are too many random photos in the portfolio 1~3 times for us to get it. But you went on and on and on, which was ironic because it resembled the subject’s portfolio: redundant, repetitive and unnecessary.

With that said, I learned a lot about your critiques on individual photos. Thanks!
