How to Review a Photograph

You first need to categorize your photograph. Is it action, night, day, portrait and nature? There are many more categories, but those are some of the common ones.

Then you need to look at the lighting in the picture. Was the photograph too bright or was it too dark? Did you use the right type of lighting for the photograph?

Make sure your subject is clear in the photograph. You don’t what people to have to try and guess what the subject is. Is it that colourful ball, or the person by the tree? Then look and see if there is anything that is unnecessarily in the photograph that might distract others for the main subject. Is there something in the background that moves you away from the subject?

Now see if there were any techniques that were used to make the subject stand out more. Was the subject moving or standing still? Did the subject suit the choice of background?

The last step for review a photograph is to make your own personal opinion. Do you like the way the picture turned out? Should you have gone for a different approach?
