I need some advice

Thu Apr 16, 2009, 5:08 PM
I want to jump on this "critique me" band wagon, but I'm not sure what images I should offer up for critique. I worry that people will have a hard time not critiquing the picture. I have very little control technique stuff like over lighting or point of view, and I worry that I would be so excited to see someone critiqued me only to find out they focused on everything but my performance. So I call on you my supportive watchers. Help me figure out what images to put up for critique, and maybe offer some of your own. Help me become a better artist.

:) Thanks

I think if you spell out in the comments section that you are the model and the critique should focus soley on the model, folks would do that.

As far as choices, I would have to include Guardian of the wood. Everything about that shot still gives me goosebumps. As for others, you should include works you are proud of and ones you are not so proud of. With the later, you would be more likely to get suggestions that would allow you to improve your art.
Hope that helped. :hug:

it did. I think I'll have to take some time and see which one's really speak to me, on both ends of the spectrum. Thanks :)

I agree with unclewiddie's comment however I would also state that since you are posting the pictures in your profile it would not hurt to have the all the elements of the image ( both those under your control and not) critiqued. It does not hurt to have all viewpoints covered since at least some photographers may want a true collaboration which might require your input on angle, lighting etc.

if i was you, i would pick the images that you are not totally sure about what it is that you like or even don't like particularly. the images you know are great might also yield some interesting critiques as well.

i would think you might want to put in your comments to ask that critique been given to you as a model, rather than having people crit the photo composition and quality.

you are right that this is how we all get better.

good luck.

I would critique anything you put in front of me. Just say the word. I would offer suggestions on which ones you should have critiqued, but I feel that decision is entirely up to the artist. But, like I said, once you choose some I would love to share my thoughts.
