First Ever Portfolio Critique

Philippe and I are proud to bring you the first ever Portfolio Critique on Phlearn. Philippe contacted me a couple of weeks ago with the same issue that many of us face. People around you tell you that you are doing great, but you know you can do better. You just don’t know how. The purpose of this critique is to help the Phamily learn to see what it takes to improve, and how to succeed in business and photography.

This Episode is over 1:00HR long and took me over 8 hours to make. I know it is asking a LOT to give an hour of your day to this. Don’t feel like you must. We cover 8 images in this Critique, a perfect way to break it up! Watch one or two today, and come back for more later.
