Be Your Own Best Critic: Judging Your Photography
Yonas Hassen shot this (good) photo in Philadelphia, during February’s Chinese New Year parade.
What makes a photograph good? What makes one not good? In this class, you’ll learn to recognize a quality photo and, in doing so, improve your own work. We’ll start with a refresher on the technical aspects of photography. Then we’ll discuss the more-challenging aspects of the critique: subjectiveness and self-criticism.
Students are also invited to bring some of their own photos to critique.

Instructor
Yonas Hassen is a native Washingtonian and avid film photographer with a collection of far too many cameras. Although Yonas is averse to complex debates over Ilford vs. Kodak, he does enjoy a good geek-out session about the craft and dying art of film photography. He has been making photos for over 20 years.
