Critique Guidelines

All members of Louisiana Photographic Society (LPS) are invited to participate in the offered critiques and review meetings.  Meeting time and places will be announced by club email, in the meetings, and in the Focus newsletter.  The number of critique meetings varies according to the LPS calendar and the availability of judges to critique. Even if you did not submit images to the critique, you can still attend the critique reviews.

Any questions are welcomed by the critique coordinator. 

The basic objective of the critiques is education of the members.  This is accomplished by giving the author of the photograph an objective view of the image and the opportunity to see it in a new light. It also allows other viewers to see additional possibilities for that image. This is one of the best ways to improve your photographic skills.  

Our judges are experienced photographers who have achieved a level of skill that is admired by long-time members of LPS. They offer their experience and their objective opinion. All photos are anonymous, no names are to be attached to the image. 

Members are invited to submit two (2) photographs for evaluation at each critique. The deadline for submitting images will be approximately one month prior to reviews. We will then have a critique review, where we will meet and listen to the judge give their critiques by zoom.

Remember: Do not place your name on your photograph where it can be viewed by the judge.  All critiques are anonymous.
