Critique and Mentoring with Stephen Dupont
One of the hardest skills to master is the editing and assessment of your own work. It sometimes takes a fresh pair of experienced eyes to view your images and assess what worked, and maybe what did not. In this Mentoring and Critique session, Stephen Dupont will facilitate a critique of work submitted by each participant. Dupont will provide his assessment, but will also invite other guests to take part. This is a highly productive way of learning about successful images – by having your own work analysed, and assessing that of others.
Schedule
10am – 12pm – Stephen will present and discuss his own work.
12pm – 1pm – Lunch.
1pm – 5pm – Group Critique session led by Stephen.
