ABOUT THE CLASS

Are you in need of feedback on your work? Would you benefit from an experienced photography teacher’s guidance and support? Would you like to be part of a community of other photographers who are on their own creative journeys? Are you ready to take your work to the next level?

One of the best ways to grow as a photographer is to engage in a conversation about your work within a group of other photographers who are moving towards their own photography goals. When the critique is guided by an experienced teacher, you become part of a rich dialog that will both support and challenge you as you improve your photographs and identify and advance your photographic ideas. Additionally, the camaraderie that you will find in a critique group will inspire you to grow as an artist and make the best work possible.

In this course you will receive personalized feedback that will help you to improve as an image- maker and grow as an artist. You will be encouraged to create photographs and bodies of work that are authentic, personally meaningful, and accessible to your chosen audience. Additionally, you will learn to look at photos with greater sensitivity and improve your confidence in talking about your work and that of others in the group.

Course Structure

`

• This critique is ongoing and meets every other Tuesday from 6-8pm ET
• The group is limited to 6 photographers, each of whom will share work in every session.
• Enrollment is ongoing when space is available
• Each photographer joins the class with a New Enrollment Package, which includes 3 group sessions plus a half-hour, one-to-one portfolio review with Matthew before your first group session.
• After your New Enrollment Package ends, you have the option to continue in the group by signing up for a 3 or 6-session package, or take a break and rejoin later if space permits.

Who Should Take this Course

This critique is meant for intermediate photographers who will benefit from the structure and feedback a critique has to offer, whether they are making new work or developing a project that’s already underway. Students should have an understanding of how photographs can work together in a defined project and be interested in improving their ability to talk about photographs both aesthetically and conceptually. Some critique experience is helpful but not required.
