Friday Flickr Photo Critique #018

I chose Dana’s set because he’s got a definite point-of-view and style for approaching his photography whether he’s shooting landscapes or weddings. I like that Dana experiments with off-camera flash and lighting tools to achieve a variety of different effects.

Dana likes to capture scenes that are dramatic with light – areas that go from intense light to very dark. This is part of his signature look and I think it’s great he’s got a solid point of view. I also like that he’s using a variety of lighting tools with off-camera flash to help light his scenes.

I was quite impressed with Dana’s photo set and am only offering my opinion and insights which at times may seem harsh, but are honest and full of encouragement, so great job Dana and keep up the good work!
