CRITIQUING PHOTOGRAPHS !!'Adams'Conducting'A'Critique'Session'
'''''Courtesy'the'Ansel'Adams'Gallery.'
'
Photo'critiquing'is'an'important'way'to'advance'
your'overall'photography'skills.''
'
This'is'not'always'easy'and'fun,'nor'is'it'always'
constructive.'But'in'the'worst'case'it’ll'teach'you'
that'you'don’t'have'to'listen'to'everyone’s'opinion'
of'your'work.'In'the'best'case,'you'will'learn'
something'from'the'feedback.'
'
The'purpose'of'critiquing'photographs'should'be'to'help'photographers'to'improve'their'work'
through'a'better'understanding'and'proficiency'in'the'technical'aspects'of'photography'and'the'
theory'of'visual'literacy,'and'this'while'helping'the'photographer'maintain'his'or'her'individuality'
and'way'of'seeing.'
'
The'critique'should'attempt'to'open'the'photographer's'own'thought'process;'it'should'not'be'an'
attempt'to'change'the'photographer'into'a'clone'of'the'assessor'H'the'very'curse'to'creativity.'
'
When'making'comments'on'another’s'photographs,'aim'to'be'objective'and'constructive.'It’s'better'
to'ask'questions'with'what%if'to'help'suggest'improvements'without'being'negative.'For'example,'“What'if'you’d'taken'a'few'more'steps'closer'to'the'subject?”,''“What'if'you'played'music'during'
your'portrait'photo'shoot'to'ensure'your'subject'is'more'relaxed?'They'look'slightly'tense'in'the'
shoot”,'“Slightly'out'of'focus'or'camera'shake;'Use'a'tripod,'or'up'shutter'speed'and'hold'steady.”'
And,'it’s'absolutely'okay'to'add'simple,'positive'comments'such'as,'“Superb,'I'only'wish'I'had'taken'
it!”'
'
Feedback'in'a'critique'should'encourage'the'artist'to'look'at'their'skills'and'how'they'could'
improve'their'work;'it'should'spark'a'conversation.'''
It'is'essential'to'determine'the'photographer's'purpose'for'making'the'image;'was'it'for'a'clinical'
study,'travel'photography,'photojournalism,'fine'art'piece'or'perhaps'an'entry'for'a'creative'
competition?'Only'then'can'the'critique'be'properly'focused'
to'assist'the'photographer'along'an'effective'learning'path.'
%So'let’s'look'at'the'steps'to'take'to'critique.''Here’s'a'checklist'
to'go'through'and'see'how'the'photograph'holds'up.%%Remember,%you’ll%get%as%much%out%of%this%process%as%you%put%in.%''

CRITIQUE CHECKLIST 1. TECHNICAL QUALITY Editors,%judges%and%evaluators%all%agree;%a%successful%photographic%image%must%have%good%technical%quality%to%start%with.%
• FOCUS:'Is'the'image'sharp,'in'focus?'If'not,'is'it'intentionally'soft'and'successful?'• CLEANLINESS:'Is'it'free'of'scratches,'dust'spots,'stains,'lens'flare,'etc?'• EXPOSURE:'Is'it'too'light,'too'dark'or'just'right?'Are'there'overexposed'(blown/washed'
out)'or'underexposed'areas?'
• DEPTH!OF!FIELD:'Is'DoF'used'to'control'the'viewer’s'eye?'• LIGHTING:'Is'there'too'much'contrast'in'the'lighting?'Too'flat'(no'range'in'shadows'or'
highlights)?'Or,'just'right?'
• COLOURS:'Does'it'have'neutral'colours'or'a'strange'colour'cast?'''

2. COMPOSITION Affected%by%the%camera%viewpoint%and%focal%length%of%the%lens.%It%can%raise%an%image%from%a%technical%success%to%an%artistic%success!%
• BALANCE:'Is'the'image'aligned'correctly'or'is'it'crooked?'• LOGIC:'Is'the'arrangement'of'the'visual'elements'effective?''• PURPOSE:'Is'there'a'strong'centre'of'interest,'focal'point,'pattern'or'design?'Where'is'your'
eye'drawn'to?'
• CLARITY!OF!FRAMING:'Is'it'simple,'yet'complete'and'without'distracting'elements?'What'should'and'shouldn’t'be'in'the'frame?'
'

3. EMOTIONAL APPEAL The%vital%element%for%a%truly%great%image,%making%it%unique%and%memorable.%
• DYNAMIC:'Does'it'grab'and'keep'your'attention?'Does'it'have'the'"wow"'factor?'• PROVOCATIVE:'Does'it'excite'your'imagination,'or'create'a'strong'emotion'in'you?'• CREATIVE:'Does'it'show'a'familiar'subject'in'a'new,'unusual'and'yet'effective'way?'• UNUSUAL:'Does'it'show'a'very'unusual'subject'in'an'effective'way?!• What'emotion'do'you'feel'when'you'look'at'the'photo?'Or'lack'of?'• Did'the'photographer'connect!with'his'subjects'or'do'they'look'tense,'posed'or'unnatural?'• Does'the'photograph'tell!a!story,'or'part'of'one?''(It'could'be'as'simple'as,'“here'are'my'kids'
whom'I'adore”'or'“here’s'my'dog'catching'a'Frisbee.”'Or'a'very'deep'one'such'as,'“this'is'
what'poverty'looks'like,'right'in'my'hometown.”)'
