Kingston’s Icons of Photography website provides tips, critiques and suggestions from renowned photographers and Kingston Icons Harry Benson, Colin Finaly, Gerd Ludwig and Peter Read Miller. The site’s main purpose is to provide a platform for sharing thoughts and ideas so that consumers and pros alike can utilize this resource to forward their own careers and creative interests.
The site allows you to send in your questions wherein the Icons will answer, share tips, insights and experiences from their lifelong love of photography.
This month, the Icons offered sage advice on topics including shooting in extreme conditions, how a publication captures events from multiple angles and finding work as a photographer.
They say that for you to be able to improve your craft, you should have your work critiqued. This way you can get feedback whether or not you have a great shot or there are still some room for improvement or perhaps you could try a different approach so you could capture a better photo. So if you are brave enough… upload your image and select an Icon who you’d like to critique the photo you’ve submitted.
The Kingston Icons of Photography website is updated every month so check back every now and then for updates.
