The ability to critically examine your own photographs, we well as those made by other photographers, is a necessary skill in becoming an effective visual communicator. The process of criticism, explored by class participants, takes place in four stages that are often defined as: description, interpretation, evaluation, and theory.
The instructor introduces you to the critical language of photography and participants explore the following topics within your own creative process.
- Effective use of the visual language to express your intent
- Explore both the explicit (denotative) and implicit (connotative) meaning of images
- Learn to post process, edit, and sequence images to better convey your meaning
- Examine regional (Hawai‘i), national, and international trends and conventions and learn to locate your own work within a larger context.
-
Hollywood and Vine, 1969, by Garry Winogrand, highlighted in the Instructor’s book, Zen Camera: Creative Awakening with a Daily Practice in Photography. Learn to recognize metaphor, symbols, and social signs and codes within your own images. Understand how the traditions of the various cultures that call Hawai‘i home influence the process of making and responding to images.
- Define a vocabulary that can assist you in thinking about, understanding, evaluating, and talking about images.
The class involves making images, reviewing images from your archive, discussion, lecture, and selected readings.
Class takes place online via Zoom software. Participants are sent a link in advance.

PNM sponsors ongoing response and critique sessions led by photographer David Ulrich and others. This is a time for photographers and students to come together, dialogue, and share work.
Please prepare 8-10 examples (12 images is the absolute maximum) of your work and place them in a folder. Please be sure to save your files as JPG’s with a maximum file size of 2-3 megabytes — larger files take too long to load. And, please make sure your images are in a folder with your first and last name on it. Do not attempt to upload individual images. Also, please title your images with your initials or name.
Email your entire folder to pnmphoto@gmail.com at least two hours before the critique, by 5 pm, December 10. Work that comes in after the deadline will not be reviewed.
The session begins at 7 pm and we are not able to admit those that come late.
