I can look back and remember the specific advice that Galen Rowell gave me when he critiqued my work during the workshop that I took with him in 1993. It helped me tremendously and got me on track to creating stronger images.<\/p>\n<p>Starting today, I&#8217;m offering my specially priced,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/instruction\/pro-photo-crituques\/\">Pro Photo Critiques<\/a> at a fraction of the cost of a full photography course. Let me help you put your creativity and technical photography skills on the right track today by offering you my personal feedback on your imagery.<\/p>\n<h3>How does it work?<\/h3>\n<p>Simple. You select the number of images you&#8217;d like me to critique and then you click the &#8220;Pay Now&#8221; button. After your secure transaction is processed via PayPal, you&#8217;ll be given a special email address where you can send your images. You can choose to send me one or three images, which I&#8217;ll personally review and critique with the same type of professional feedback that I give all of my students.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, you will have the option to email me one more time for clarification if you have questions about the critique, however you will not be allowed to send more images.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does it take?<\/h3>\n<p>In most cases, I will reply within one week, although, I&#8217;ll usually get back to you within a day or two. In the event that I am unable to respond for a period of longer than two weeks, you will recieve a full refund.<\/p>\n<h3>What kind of feedback will I offer you?<\/h3>\n<p>I will review the strength and success of each image and explain the posivive aspects of your photos, and I will offer suggestions on how they might be improved through the use of compositional variations and techical methods. My critique style is very clear and concise, and I always try to give positive feedback on how to improve your imagery, rather than simply judging it. The idea is to focused around helping you learn. This isn&#8217;t a contest; \u00a0you won&#8217;t earn a blue ribbon, but you\u00a0will\u00a0receive help creative and technical advice on how you can become a better photographer.<\/p>\n<h3>How much does it cost?<\/h3>\n<p>The cost is $9.95 for one image, and $19.95 for three images.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s my experience?<\/h3>\n<p>Good question. I&#8217;ve been a full time professional working pro for well over a decade and I&#8217;ve taught photography workshops and classes for even longer. I currently teach online photography courses at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/thecompellingimage.com\/instructors\/6-daniel-bailey\">The Compelling Image<\/a>. Before turning full time pro, I worked full time as a photo editor in a Boston stock photo agency. My job there was to edit and review thousands of images every single day. The experience gave me a sharp and critical eye for identifying strong imagery and how it can be improved.<\/p>\n<h3>Are you ready for your professional critique?<\/h3>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know, are you ready to learn?
