One-on-One Image Review Session

One-on-One Image Review Session

NEW OFFERING

This is offered as a one hour live Zoom session and there are various times slots available (see below). 

Join professional photographer and experienced instructor, Corey Hilz for a one-on-one image review session. Corey will discuss the pros and cons of each photo, as well as do light editing as appropriate. Constructive feedback about your images is an excellent way to learn how you can improve your photography. Critiques give you an objective view and valuable insights about your images.

Corey will discuss, in detail, the strengths of your images, as well as how they can be improved. He will give specific recommendations for how to make them even better, such as adjusting the processing (cropping, modifying tone and color, selective adjustments), and/or how to re-shoot if appropriate.

Corey is an experienced photographer, instructor and judge. He will offer constructive feedback about your photos in a friendly and encouraging manner. This is not a competition, so the images you share don’t have to be your very best. They should be photos that you feel pretty good about, with some diversity in subject matter, and they should fairly represent where you are with your photography. 

This image review will be most helpful for beginner and intermediate level photographers. Familiarity with photo editing software (Lightroom, Photoshop, etc) is useful, but not required.  Although Corey won’t be giving any Lightroom or Photoshop instruction, he may demonstrate the processing adjustments he is recommending such as cropping and selective adjustments.

Participants can submit up to 30 jpeg photos at least three days prior to the session. Your confirmation letter will have more details about how to get your images to us for the class. 

Session limit:  1

What People Are Saying About Corey

"Corey Hilz never disappoints! I have taken several classes and workshops with Corey and I always come away with more photographic knowledge and insight than before. Not only does he have great vision, he is also technically savvy, making him a guru in the field and in the classroom. Corey is patient with all of his students regardless of level, and he makes his explanations easily understandable. I can’t recommend Corey enough if you are contemplating a workshop or class with him."

"Corey makes one feel confident. Yes, Corey truly is a gifted teacher, and he is able to clearly explain complex concepts to a complete novice."

"I've done enough photo workshops to know that some instructors are good in the field while others are good in the classroom. Corey is outstanding in both! In the field he has an uncanny ability to show up just when you need his help. His comments are always constructive and nonjudgmental. He lends his equipment freely (he got me hooked on Lensbaby) and encourages you to try new techniques. In the classroom, his teaching is methodical and logical. He shows you how to make the most of the digital darkroom with the software that you have (and then he shows you again using the software you wish you had). Corey is a natural teacher."

"I completed the Lightroom in a Day class with Corey Hilz today.  This class far exceeded my expectations.  I was admittedly skeptical of the long list of topics to be covered in one day but Corey is a gifted instructor and he presented a large amount of technically complex materials in a very easy to understand clear, concise, and coherent in manner." 

"Corey Hilz did an excellent job of outlining the goals for the class, reinforcing some key concepts and adjustments relevant to the indoor environment, and providing guidance and feedback on composition. There was ample time to practice and Corey circulated among the group to review photos, provide helpful feedback, and answer questions. Extremely satisfied with the experience"
