MEMBERS’ CRITIQUE

SF Camerawork Members' Critiques

Critiques are opportunities for SF Camerawork members to receive feedback on their work from leading artists and educators throughout the country.

Critique Format: The critiques are two hours long, usually on evenings from from 4 - 6 pm PST. Five photographers have 15 minutes at each critique to present their work and receive feedback from the critique leader and the group. In addition to the five photographers presenting work, there are also typically 15 - 25 other members who tune in to observe, comment, and ask questions. Critiques are intended to be as collaborative as possible, and we encourage all participants to engage in the conversation!

This event is reserved for current SF Camerawork members. Unsure of your registration status? Email info@sfcamerawork.org.

*Presenter slots are on a first come first served basis with members able to present once per quarter/season each calendar year (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter).
