From the course: Photo Critique of the Week
Welcome
- Welcome to the critique of the week. I'm your instructor, the passionate photographer Steve Simon and I'm very excited to launch this new series designed to help make you a better photographer through a discussion of photographic critique. As a lifelong educator as well as a photographer, I've experienced first hand the power of the critique as a teaching tool. Not just of my own work, but the powerful learning that happens when viewing and talking about other people's images. Each week, we'll take a critical eye to a diverse selection of photos from all genres. Sometimes my own, but often those of photographers like you, passionate and driven to become the photographer you know that you can be. I know the power of this process and this series is designed to expose you to a variety of great photography, to inspire and entertain, with the end goal of making you a better photographer always foremost in my mind. So to get the most from this weekly visual calisthenics class, I highly recommend you view my Photographic Critique Fundamentals course. It'll make a great foundation for watching this series, because I break down the critique process and at the same time, build up your visual vocabulary for a deeper understanding of critique. And a stronger way to articulate your thoughts and feelings about photography. Through that course and this series, I hope to bring you to a greater understanding of the sometimes mysterious force behind great and inspiring photography. For you to harness the power for yourself in your own work. Alright, let's get started.
