The Closer Look – The Private Critique A calm, su The Closer Look – The Private Critique

A calm, supportive space to explore your images and grow with confidence.

The Closer Look is a private, recorded image critique created for photographers who would like thoughtful, kind guidance on their work. You can submit up to five images and receive personal feedback focused on story, feeling, and gentle refinement.

This is a lovely next step if you’ve recently taken part in — or considered — our competition, but perhaps:

Your images didn’t place and you’d like a little clarity

You didn’t quite feel ready to enter this time

You’re craving reassurance and direction with your work

Your feedback is delivered as a private screen recording with voice commentary, allowing us to talk through your images in a relaxed, easy-to-follow way. You’ll receive the recording directly, so you can watch it in your own time and revisit it whenever you need.

What’s included:

A private critique of up to 5 images

Gentle insight into storytelling, emotional connection, and polish

Encouraging, practical suggestions to help you move forward

A personal screen + voice recording sent just to you

Investment: £75 for up to 5 images

How it works:

Book The Closer Look

You’ll receive a link to a Google Form

Share a few details and upload up to five images

Receive your private recorded feedback via email

This isn’t about judgement or comparison. It’s simply a chance to pause, reflect, and gain clarity on where your work is heading — with support every step of the way.
