Welcome!!!

Welcome to the new photo critique community (magazine?)!! I am super excited to be a part of this new community here on Lemmy.

A little background on me: I've been a hobby photographer for about a decade now and a professional real estate photographer and videographer for a couple of years. I am by no means an expert in any of this, but I do know the basics for sure! However, I really do think critiquing photos can be done by anyone from any background at any skill level!

My goal with this community is to just recreate the photo critique community that I very much loved on Reddit. As such I think we should stick to the same rules that we used over there. Especially the rule regarding critiquing your own work first in >500 words. I believe this rule is key to helping photographers grow in their craft. You can't just expect people to help you without putting in a little effort helping yourself as well!

I'll start by posting a few examples!
