Academy Photo Critique Live 28th January 2014You can see the film from this link http://thephotographeracademy.com/academy-photo-critique-live-28th-january-2014
Each month on The Photographer Academy members have a chance to have their images critiqued live.
The photo critique sessions run between 60 and 90 minutes, during which Mark comments on around 30-50 images.
The variety of images is a real mix from the improvers to the advanced, all the images follow a similar critique looking at how to improve lighting, composition, technique, pose, story telling to name but a few.
Critiques are designed to push members photography skills forward and are just one persons opinion as beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.
Mark Cleghorn has been Judging and Critiquing images all over the world since 1990, trained by the old Masters to constructively look at and dissect images to allow photographers to understand their weaknesses and strengths to allow them to become even better at their craft.
Check out the Photo Critique section to see when the next session is planned, remember you don't have to submit an image to take part in the interactive.

In this series Mark Cleghorn works with photographer and studio owner Martin Edwards to develop his business.
It has been three months since our first visit to Martin and in this film Mark starts by taking a tour of the studio location and see what if anything has changed since our first visit. Then Mark talks to Martin how business has been in the last three months and asks Martin what he has done with our advice from the first visit.
In this part Mark and Martin discuss Martin's website and his shop windows. Both so important as its first impressions that can make or break a business. They also discuss when the shop should be open and hours.
This type of Studio Inspector role is nothing new for Mark as he has done this for 100's of studios on a one-2-one style throughout the UK and the USA since 1997.
