Photography

Judging the Frame: Standard, Style, and the Photographic Eye

Photography is both a craft and an art, and judging whether a photograph succeeds requires a precise vocabulary. The four elements — Value, Clarity, Composition, and Presentation — form the universal standard against which every image can be evaluated.

Through eight structured lessons, you will learn to analyse photographs with rigour and clarity. You will distinguish between the Standard — the objective measure of photographic quality — and Style, the personal expression that defines an artist's voice.
