Why do Photographers Like Constructive Criticism

Written By Vic Steadman

Constructive Criticism forms a large part of our meetings.

Some reasons why Constructive Criticism is important to photographers are because it:

  • Accelerates Skill Development

  • Helps Overcome Creative Blocks

  • Refines Technical Skills

  • Enhances Story Telling

  • Improves Self Awareness

  • Builds a Stronger Profile

  • Builds a Supportive Community

  • Drives Innovation

  • Avoids Stagnation

Self criticism is important every time we take a photograph:

  • Self Criticism is a vital tool for photographers seeking to improve their craft.

  • It supports innovation and experimentation as well as development of “routine” photographs.

Within WGPC our club upload folder is the main tool we use for Constructive Criticism. Everyone is encouraged to upload photos and to view and comment on the photos of others.
