You Be the Judge
Miniseries - Episode 3
Using a Photo’s Impact to Influence Commenting
|
Chane Cullens (HonNEC) will focus on how
to provide educational comments by evaluating a photo based on its
impact. He will also explore ways to create impactful photographs
through storytelling, creativity, composition, and technical
excellence. Understanding the principles that contribute to a photo’s
impact can help judges craft comments and help photographers create
powerful photos that evoke emotions and communicate messages.
|
|
Storytelling in a photograph is the
ability to tell a story and capture the viewer’s imagination.
Creativity involves finding an unusual or extraordinary way to depict
an ordinary subject. Composition directs the viewer’s attention to the
most striking or intriguing elements of the photograph. Technical
excellence refers to the quality of the photograph, achieved through
both camera skills and editing techniques.
|
|
A survey of NECCC member clubs revealed
that “educational constructive comments” is the most important aspect
of competitions. With the phrase “A picture is worth a thousand words”
in mind, this session will offer techniques for crafting educational
comments using less than 100 words.
