Critique the Community
Submit Your Best "Styled" Photograph
Congratulations to the winners!
This episode of Critique the Community comes with some fresh perspective and opinions. Lee's wife, who is not a photographer, joins him on set to share her thoughts on the selected images. Who do you agree with more?
Congratulations to our winners. Chase Wilson's was chosen by the community as the best submission and Emmanuel Orain was selected as the random winner. We will be in touch with both of you via your Fstoppers profiles to receive a tutorial of your choice.
If you'd like to participate in the next episode, submit your plant or flower pictures HERE.
Rules & Prizes
For our next critique, we want to see your most "styled" photographs. This means that you spent time choosing the model, location, wardrobe, hair, makeup, etc. to create a cohesive, professional, final photograph.
Maybe you're shooting a product and you had to design the entire set. Maybe you were shooting food and you had to fake a restaurant-style location in a studio. The bottom line is that we want to see detailed planning in your final image.
Each photographer can submit up to five different images. Make sure that you write a quick paragraph about the planning that went into creating your shot.

The one star snapshot voters are already on it 🤣. Gotta love these “contests”
I think it's because some people don't think that your photos fit the criteria. Obviously they aren't snapshots. Maybe write a little blurb for each one on the planning that went into them and the intended style.
Haha, maybe some but..... Mine is 4.33 on my profile, and 2.65 in the contest. Ppl are arsey here in the contests - it's silly.
“This means that you spent time choosing the model, location, wardrobe, hair, makeup, etc. to create a cohesive, professional, final photograph“
“Stylized” can can be incredibly broad with this criteria. You also can’t see anyone’s description when voting initially so explanations of the work prior to the photograph don’t help the voter either.
I can see the descriptions before voting, I'm assuming that's the same for everyone. And you can change your votes after so if for whatever reason you can't see it before it can still sway votes.
I agree but I think the second paragraph puts more perspective on what kind of shots they're looking for.
"Maybe you're shooting a product and you had to design the entire set. Maybe you were shooting food and you had to fake a restaurant-style location in a studio. The bottom line is that we want to see detailed planning in your final image. "
Obviously there was planning put into your shots but maybe not to the extent that many feel like this contest was aimed for. But, again, I think it would help if you provided some details and context for the photos.
