Constantine Manos Critique: Karl Edwards Day 2 Critique (Magnum Workshop)

yes these photos are shit but it doesn't help to have another abysmal photographer judging them.

Colour is seasonal, where as black and white is classic.

I don't get why the opinion of one person is like, God is speaking. All art is subjective. I've been critiqued and I have at times liked the very aspect of the photo that someone else questioned. Who has the final say?

Color photos require the color to be able to enhance the mood and to be an important element, although composition and interesting subject is still important. Color can actually clutter the photo if not called for. Black and white works best when you don't need color to support the photo or when color doesn't matter. Instead, light, tone, shadow alone, enhance the feel of the photograph. I have shot exclusively B&W for years and suddenly, this year, began to see in color as well. I now shoot both and feel that it has improved my photography. I see it as a challenge to create in both.

So expensive these workshops
I think there pure bull shit ,,
