Karl had a blast reviewing members’ submissions in this live critique show, now available as a replay. The theme was ‘Electronics’ and we saw impressive images of headphones, smartphones, cameras, coffee machines, electric guitars and more.

As always, Karl was honest in identifying room for improvement, and full of useful suggestions for making good shots even better. Though given in response to specific images, Karl’s feedback will be useful for anyone looking to enhance their photography.

Some aspects that came up more than once include the challenge of lighting different textures within an image, the importance of separating the ‘hero’ of an image from its ‘supporting cast’, and styling your electronics image in a way that grabs the viewer’s attention without detracting from the product itself.

As he reviews the submissions, Karl also demonstrates some simple Photoshop adjustments for quick and easy image enhancement.
