I love doing these critiques. I've been stopped so many times by people who tell me how helpful these types of videos are. That's why I offer different options for people to get their work critiqued. This time around, the moral of the story is consistency. I think their work is solid and with a few tweaks will really POP!!!!
As a parent I can tell you that you love seeing your kid in pretty much anything. Part of the reason I got into photography is because I wanted good pictures of my kids. You should have one. A pro like you could do amazing things. You'll look at the pictures and find yourself grinning without even realizing it. Not just because they're good pictures, but because something you love more than anything is in them. Just looking at them makes you feel good.
@@TheExtraTerrestrial I use it😉but have to pay for it now, if more than 1000pics, I have thausonds. But I still shoot on a phone. Eventually I will get a camera.
Is it just me or over editing is killing photos? Don't get me wrong, I like to edit the pics I take, but take a look at dog photography and you'll see that pretty much everybody is using gradients and vignettes to an extreme level. Take it easy guys, it's just an opinion.
Eh I think it's almost expected by clients, it showcases some of the tricks a professional photographer can use in editing that they can't do (or don't do)in their iPhone. Plenty of things photographers hate but clients love.
@@miltongopaI bought a lot of cameras in the past in search for the perfect picture. Later I learned that it was an editing software they used for that look. I felt lied to, and since then I stopped posting about the cameras that I use.
Yeah I have to agree about the sun glow. Either tone it down or don't have it at all. You want to stay away from any effect that anyone these days can add via apps & software. Lens flares & glows can look tacky & unimpressive because most people use these same exact effects & its simple to add. My opinion on fake backgrounds is that try to use very high quality ones & the ones that match the perspective perfectly. Finally, criticise your own work heavily. Be hard on yourself to the point where you will look back at your older work & you become shocked how easily those mistakes should never been. I like the baby photos more then the other shots. The other photos weren't composed correctly among other minute things. But do not worry, I know you will continue to learn. We all do. Stay blessed.
I concur with your analysis on each of the photos. I'm not so sure I like your shrewdness but I've come to accept it over the course of the many years I've been a subscriber. 😎
If you want to be a professional photographer you have to balance your style and what you like versus what the customers want There is a fine step between an excellent photographer and a good photographer (like me) thay these types of videos help to get that extra step
I'd have to disagree about the "dead space" comment. Cropping a photo in too much makes the people feel too cramped. It's called the rule of thirds for a reason. Negative space is good and pleasing to the eye!!
It's always humbling to work on anything (image, essay, whatever), and totally miss some detail that, afterwards, when someone else spots it (in part because they've caught it so often even in their own work that they now hunt for it), should have been an obvious thing to check for. Fun critique - really helps.
2:43 More important than "doing it right" is developing one's own style. Just like in the world of music, photographers aren't going to go very far if they don't develop their own unique, identifiable styles. Jared, maybe you could do some videos on developing a unique style: the importance of it, and how to do it.
Hey great video! Just one thing, noticed you are using Calendly. Not sure if you have a CRM to manage your customers and do marketing, but would advise Pipedrive for it. Easy, clean and well priced.
Overkill and fakery plastic EDITS is what my customers want and some even demand Instagram like filters applied. There have been times when I get pissed off and tell them to use their stupid iPhone or Android
@@Jindujun There is some truth to that, but I think people use that as an excuse too much. More often than not a client doesn't know exactly what they want because they're not knowledgeable about such things. You're the trained photographer, you're supposed to be able to give them more than they want because you have the knowledge and experience they don't. They're trusting you to know what makes an image good or not. That's why they're hiring you to take the images rather than doing it themselves. And they might settle for something that they THINK is good because they don't actually know that it's not. Like if someone just eats fast food all the time, they might think that's good. But would you settle for just giving them fast food because it's what they want? Now if a client absolutely insists on a certain look, then fine, ultimately it's their choice. But that shouldn't be an excuse to present subpar work.
I must be getting better because I was saying things before you said them and we said, the same thing! LOL Great stuff! Fun video. You made me laugh when you commented with the funny comments about the dog and the baby. Babies don't sleep like that and I'm sniffing you! 😆😆😆 We share the same humor too! 👍
Interesting photos - they're good and in many respects better than anything I could ever do - but even I would ensure stuff is in focus, level where appropriate and remove distractions and dead space.
Reading the comments, I am perplexed, no, saddened at how “refreshing” honesty has become. Your brand of critique is great - strong opinions based on experience and calling a spade a spade (not insulting the spade maker). No problems there. Why do people not get honest feedback from people anymore though? Has the world gone soft thinking that the first effort is the best effort, and any effort is worthy of a trophy? Well, sweet cheeses on pizzas - keep dishing up the honesty. I hear on a podcast years ago feedback is the breakfast of champions 💪😎
This was great. I love your critiques because you cut right to the chase, but you're always fair. Sure these are opinions, and everyone has his/her preferences, but some things are flat-out errors which need to be identified and corrected. WIll be signing up for sure. (Just don't say "You'll never work in this town again." 😄)
All my friends are photographers, my family is death and probally know some other people who aren't photographers. So that helps me a lot. Though wish they would critique more, I do it to.
@1:15 I agree this image is edited heavily with content aware, strong shadow manipulation, blur, and I definitely agree there is likely an artificial sun introduced into this scene. This photograph may have also been created by chroma methods (background shot + portrait) but I have my doubts considering how well referenced the subject is with respect to the bridge. I would have shot this without the tiara. The bridge itself has very strong lines(the railing, the angle cross brace, the upright, and the angle siding just above the head) and placing an additional item with strong lines tend to reverse the leading lines for some viewers, serve as a distraction to others, and may blend in with the bridge background to others as well. The red dress/makeup was nice and complimented the colors with the bridge. The hair is very flattering and would actually separate cleanly from the bridge background without the tiara. What might kick this photograph into next gear(in my opinion) is to keep the lighting fairly natural in the background and let the grass and trees in the background fall into a darker green. Regardless of which direction your might take, I do recommend to keep this location as one of your go tos and visit this scene mid to late day during summer, fall, winter, and in snow conditions. Take photographs at each visit at different exposures. Use these photographs as reference when adding in a sun or adjusting exposure/highlights/shadows. In addition, walk around the bridge and take note if you can incorprate the bridge in a different aspect/direction. Also, when using content aware make sure the replacement is artifact free.
Jared, for the photo of the girl on her back with the football, what do you if some element in the background is always going to be not level? Example, you said the grass is uneven. but if you fix the level to get the grass even, wouldn't that make the stadium & seating tilted? I'd think that it's important to get the structure level, since my guess is the grass is uneven. Just wondering, thanks!
I don't think he was talking about the level but the perspective. Like the intent of the image seemed to be to have the player centered but they're not. The lines of the railings on either side of the center bleachers are at different angles. The image has a lot of straight lines and so the lack of symmetry is more prominent, especially when it seems like having symmetry was the goal.
Pressing the "shutter" button is only half of the job, the main part is the editing. I edit virtually all of my photos, even if it's only a slight adjustment to the exposure. With sports and wildlife, you don't get the chance to compose the shot.
On a note about cropping the senior photo, you have to realize many people frame these photos with mats that further crop an image. So you absolutely want to have enough headroom and space around. Same is true if printing on a stretched canvas, you need that extra space around, then you'll get that nice tight shot in your final piece. But you are right about there's often too much space above when there's not enough below in many of the other following photos.
You’re absolutely correct Lubin. Understanding how people will use your images and preparing them accordingly is what differentiates a professional from a keen enthusiast like Jared Polin.
And, if you degrade all photography critique into a matter of "personal choice", that's just unethical. There is definitely a hierarchy in photography, there are "bad", "better", "good" or "great" photos, and as an experienced photographer who knows what he is talking about, you gotta stand for what you believe is good photography.
I like the color pallet of the baby shots, making them almost monocromatic. My hand was also itching to reach the contrast slider, but flatness is a style, just like black and white and much other. The one at the football field. i dont think it is off, all of the other lines are horizontal, I think it is the running track that is turning giving the illution that it is off. People kissing dogs is wierd. Having the number 7 in focus, if it is important somehow, you can do that but your eyes should be in that same line, so they are also sharp or it will breake a photo. Baby photos are a bit wierd to me, because they make these victorian era like images, and they dont tell a story. It's like those photo walls with a hole in, where you stik your head in and the wall is painted so it looks like you are a cowboy or something. It only tells the story that you were silly enough to do it, and the baby photo only tells the story that you went to a photographer to get a baby images. If you as an artist use a baby as a model to sell baby stuff, then it's ok, but if you are doing a portrait for the parrents to hang on the wall, then... well it is cute for about 2 seconds, but it is not a memory. However if you are trying to sell baby images, then these are perfect. The problem with critique is that images dont speak for them selves so we dont know what the story that the photographer was trying to tell. Have you taken an image to get a good critique or to say something about a product, a memory, or what ever. And often they just become someone who doesn't understand your work, dumping on it and telling you to take the same photos as all the other guys and never really stand out. So good or bad critique doesn't always reflect if you have made a good or bad image, or even if it works or not. I think they were clearly taken by a very capable photographer and I like to see the awareness towards the color pallet really shines through
I enjoy your content. The one thing about photography is there is gathering content and for that I appreciate your perspective on so much different gear, however, the 2nd part of photography is developing the content. We don't use lightrooms anymore, but pretty much all that we could do in the past behind the door we can do in front of a computer. So, just as we might have reviews of photopaper, enlargers, lighting, etc, looking for the best equipment that will allow us to be more productive, what should we be looking for in a computer, types of hardware, so that when we remove the CF Express card that promotes 1700-1400 read and write speeds and we plug that baby into a USB port, we aren't downloading at dial up speeds? I teach yearbook, and kids will come back with 1,000's of images, only to have to wait 20 minutes for files to transfer and even once they have, importing takes another eternity--far from productive yet the majority of bodies use XQD/CF Express. Would love to get your opinion as to what types of computers would serve us the best. Thanks.
Very nice critique! Jared puts into words how I "feel" about some of these photos. Baby in basket photos I call Anne Geddes photos. She's made a career out of them but they make me want to throw up a little in my mouth. Of course Anne has made a lot of money on those photos so who am I to say anything!
In the maternity photo with the red dress the fake sun burst you can see where it ends at the bottom of her dress. its a straight line where it cuts off.
Same here, yet a lot of portrait photographers use them. What bothers me is when it’s so obvious the models look photoshopped into the photo. Such as the colors and lighting not matching. Yet this seems acceptable to many clients.
I thought the photographer did an amazing job overall. I personally loved the compositions and the creativity. I agree that the 2nd image was over processed and the fake sun flare was too much but again, overall the collection was great. I want to get out there and create.
That second image looks like it's a composite image, you can tell by the shadows (the woman's shadow just doesn't look right at all - not long enough).
the football player might not have been in super sharp focus but the fact the shooter wasnt splitting him left and right and the fact the football was upside down, got me. as far as super sharp focus is concerned, Vogue puts soft focus shots on the cover nearly every month for the last 10 years...
Obviously, Jared is not educated in taking newborn photos and that’s fine because that’s not his forte and he admitted it but what they are doing with the child is swaddling it and no they do not sleep like that but if you don’t swaddle, then they move everywhere and you can’t just bend them whenever you want like clay 😂 . Sometimes they sleep, sometimes they’re all over the place, but these type of photos have a hi demand and is a high-paying industry. And you have to have lots of patience.
I don't know I kind of turn my contrast down on my camera cuz sometimes the contrast on the camera itself makes my pictures a little darker than I say I took them now I'm talking to the phone I'm not on some fancy computer where I can add commas and periods and stuff like that so forgive me for my run-on sentence
To me, he is critiquing the photo to help the individual improve and learn and so knowing the camera is important I believe because if he is familiar with the camera then he can tell it some isn’t using their camera to the full potential or uses something more affordable but understands how to use their equipment and get just as good quality.
Basic photography doesn’t change depending on what camera you have. Like I said unless there is a known fault in a model (focus is off because of a defect from the factory, etc) or you are pushing something to the extreme limits (FPS, 1/8000th of a second, etc) the camera doesn’t matter. A skilled photographer can easily shoot rings around a newbie with the greatest equipment using a 10 year old body. People get hung up on equipment and needing the latest and greatest. Need and want are often mistaken for each other.
I think most of your critique is valid. However repetitive statements that maternity,baby pics etc etc are not your cup of tea are getting old. That’s not a critique it’s a bias. If don’t don’t have kids or babies you don’t understand. Most baby pics are done in a controlled environment often with backdrops etc.
I love these videos! I get great tips from them. But I mainly shoot automotive and landscapes, would you be willing to comment on those too? Just wondering as I don't usually see you shoot them haha Keep up the great work! 💪🏼
Surprised he missed that the maternity shot was mimicking the Madonna/Virgin Mary. This helps explain going for an artificial almost painted look and the random sun, but I still don't get why you would do it unless the kid was a bastard.
Yeah fake background shot and last one didn’t do anything for me. Last shot needed some background light, just a bump, the baby is fading into the background
I hate fake sun flairs. Making someone look like an Oompa Loompa because you added such a strong fake Sunflare is just wrong. I have a couple of photographers in my area that 90% of the photos have fake sun flares in it. A natural Sunflare looks so much better when you can get it. If not go without

I prefer the critiques. I realize reviews are the bread and butter of your income, but

Yeah I have to agree about the sun glow. Either tone it down or don't have it at all. You want to stay away from any effect that anyone these days can add via apps & software. Lens flares & glows can look tacky & unimpressive because most people use these same exact effects & its simple to add. My opinion on fake backgrounds is that try to use very high quality ones & the ones that match the perspective perfectly. Finally, criticise your own work heavily. Be hard on yourself to the point where you will look back at your older work & you become shocked how easily those mistakes should never been. I like the baby photos more then the other shots. The other photos weren't composed correctly among other minute things. But do not worry, I know you will continue to learn. We all do. Stay blessed.
Do more of these photo critiques! Love the honest feedback.

personally my fav shot was at 7:00 , it looks very dreamy.
you know like how the main character dreams of his dead wife kinda look. i dig that.
I want to do a critique some day. I'm tired of being gassed up by my family and friends. I'm ready for Jared to tear me to shreds.
I agree with your critique of these photos...
You pretty much need to book a photographer out here the day you get pregnant

@@Dj.D25 which is baffling to me, luckily all of my clients prefer meeting at an actual location for a portrait session
6:20, If I take the graduation photo, I would not blur the school logo.
listening to this while editing! "fake cock" made me double take!! HAHAH 4:50
😂😂
I thought the photographer did an amazing job overall. I personally loved the compositions and the creativity. I agree that the 2nd image was over processed and the fake sun flare was too much but again, overall the collection was great. I want to get out there and create.
Fro!! Love the vids man. We need a daily fro of you reading comments. Love those bro. I love these types of videos.
meanwhile, theres a download button in the bottom right corner hahah
Maybe I have a short attention span, or just missed it… but stop doing what?
Commenting just to comment early 😁
🤣🤣
Even exposed fractures looks cute when you have kids.
#rawtalk is Awsome. #dailyfro should be brought back, maybe weeklyfro? Great content all around Jared!
That second image looks like it's a composite image, you can tell by the shadows (the woman's shadow just doesn't look right at all - not long enough).
the football player might not have been in super sharp focus but the fact the shooter wasnt splitting him left and right and the fact the football was upside down, got me.
as far as super sharp focus is concerned, Vogue puts soft focus shots on the cover nearly every month for the last 10 years...
That's a joke right? There's no such thing as an upside down football. 🤣
@@bobcloughjr look at the logo, Einstein
Stop doing what? She doing great job
Looks like I’ll not be shooting any Family Photos anytime soon … I couldn’t shoot this stuff with any honesty or genuine interest.
Facts ! I would need to get paid over current market rate to even entertain the notion of these family shoots ... YawnFest 🥱 😂
Obviously, Jared is not educated in taking newborn photos and that’s fine because that’s not his forte and he admitted it but what they are doing with the child is swaddling it and no they do not sleep like that but if you don’t swaddle, then they move everywhere and you can’t just bend them whenever you want like clay 😂 . Sometimes they sleep, sometimes they’re all over the place, but these type of photos have a hi demand and is a high-paying industry. And you have to have lots of patience.
Great critique, as always, Jared
The Preggo one looks like it was Skittles to death
wait. stop doing WHAT?!
I don't know I kind of turn my contrast down on my camera cuz sometimes the contrast on the camera itself makes my pictures a little darker than I say I took them now I'm talking to the phone I'm not on some fancy computer where I can add commas and periods and stuff like that so forgive me for my run-on sentence
I think it’s irrelevant what gear they used to capture the images unless there is a problem.
To me, he is critiquing the photo to help the individual improve and learn and so knowing the camera is important I believe because if he is familiar with the camera then he can tell it some isn’t using their camera to the full potential or uses something more affordable but understands how to use their equipment and get just as good quality.
Basic photography doesn’t change depending on what camera you have. Like I said unless there is a known fault in a model (focus is off because of a defect from the factory, etc) or you are pushing something to the extreme limits (FPS, 1/8000th of a second, etc) the camera doesn’t matter. A skilled photographer can easily shoot rings around a newbie with the greatest equipment using a 10 year old body. People get hung up on equipment and needing the latest and greatest. Need and want are often mistaken for each other.
@@brucehendricks exactly which is why knowing the camera helps him understand if it’s the user or more of the camera
I hate those “Potato” baby pics and the cupping the tummy pregnant pics!
So freaking played out.
I think most of your critique is valid. However repetitive statements that maternity,baby pics etc etc are not your cup of tea are getting old. That’s not a critique it’s a bias. If don’t don’t have kids or babies you don’t understand. Most baby pics are done in a controlled environment often with backdrops etc.
I still shoot on a canon xsi, i just have L lenses and most of my pics go on instagram not a 30x40 print
Are you critiquing these as professional photos? Or are you critiquing them as what people would want or be satisfied with?
I gave up photography.
I loved this critique. You don't have any babies, you maybe don't do that kind of photography but you still help out in a meaningful matter.
he may do ! we don't know
Agh, the fire emoji, god I hate it when I get that comment...
Jared you're being so nice. This makes me uncomfortable.
I love these videos! I get great tips from them. But I mainly shoot automotive and landscapes, would you be willing to comment on those too? Just wondering as I don't usually see you shoot them haha
Keep up the great work! 💪🏼
Listen up RUclipsrs….stop using the “stop doing this” clickbait.
07:23 I’d rather flip her around… 😂😂
Yo !
I don’t think Jared is a big fan of babies 😂😂😂
Surprised he missed that the maternity shot was mimicking the Madonna/Virgin Mary. This helps explain going for an artificial almost painted look and the random sun, but I still don't get why you would do it unless the kid was a bastard.
Yeah fake background shot and last one didn’t do anything for me. Last shot needed some background light, just a bump, the baby is fading into the background
Love his critiques lol
Does hardware matter ?
There is a fade, desaturate pandemic going on. Get your saturation shot and contrast booster. 😂
I don't like the overedited look which is too common when I see photos posted and it is becoming far too common. Less is more in my opinion.

Keep up the amazing work fro & stephen
I hate fake sun flairs. Making someone look like an Oompa Loompa because you added such a strong fake Sunflare is just wrong. I have a couple of photographers in my area that 90% of the photos have fake sun flares in it. A natural Sunflare looks so much better when you can get it. If not go without
Some of the backgrounds looked like pretty bad wallpapers, all pics much too cheesy for me.
Bottom right hand corner appears to be a download button.
very nice video
Okay, stop doing what, exactly?
Jared saying people loves these.......eh
Bruh, how do I get you to dunk on my photos??
