Early in my photography career I had the good fortune to meet a photographer at my local lab whose work I’d long admired in the pages of Arizona Highways magazine. He offered to critique a few of my slides for a small fee and though I was initially skeptical, I figured I had little to lose so I accepted his offer. The experience was transformative. I’d never received honest, informed feedback on my photographs and the constructive critiques he shared were instrumental in the development of my own style and unique way of seeing, and I saw significant improvements in my photography following the critique sessions.

That single, powerful experience also shaped me as a nature photography workshop instructor. I’ve worked with hundreds of photographers in both group and private workshop settings, and I made a point of building in time for image critiques at every workshop. Almost without exception my clients raved about the constructive feedback they received during critique sessions, often times saying it was the most valuable part of the entire workshop.

Although I am taking a break from leading workshops I still have a strong desire to help others improve their photography. I am thrilled to be able to offer reasonably priced image critiques to anyone motivated to create dramatically better photographs while developing their own artistic vision.

I will critique each image individually, considering multiple elements to include composition, technical details, light, subject matter, post-processing technique, emotional reaction and other general thoughts pertaining to the image. You will receive my critique via email no more than 48 hours after I confirm receipt of the image file. Each critique includes one follow up email in which you are invited to ask specific questions related to the critique you’ve received from me.
