Beginner Photography:

Friendly & Constructive Photography Critique Videos

Learn beginner photography techniques through friendly and constructive photography critique videos!

It’s hard to improve your photography without getting some outside feedback. In this set of videos, I’ll be taking reader submitted photos and offering my thoughts on what works, what doesn’t, and how the images might be improved. I’m not the final authority on what makes the best photograph, so these videos are just my opinions. I do hope, however, that you will find my thoughts of some value, and can use the ideas to improve your own photos.

This is a brand new series of videos that I’m experimenting with. Feel free to leave me some feedback in the Facebook commenting section at the bottom to let me know if you enjoy them, or want to see something different. Do come back and visit often, as I’ll be adding a new photography critique each month. Enjoy!
