Judged by Steven Galvin LRPS

Steven Galvin ….

Since early 2017 Steven has been a photographic judge for the Chiltern Association of Cameras Clubs.  This entails Steven officiating at any of the forty clubs in the Chilterns area, and further afield.

Steven has been entering photography competitions since 2006 and he’s noted many different styles of judging of varying degrees of quality.  He’s seen judges who are positive, clear, and constructive, provide structured feedback, with consistent and accurate marking, and professional in their public speaking.  Unfortunately he’s also witnessed judging that has been inconsistent, negatively critical (especially to novices), and poor in terms of standing up in front of a club and delivering a quality judging performance.

Steven argues that there’s too much negativity in this world, where people get unfairly slated for all the good work they do.  He inspires photographers to take better photos and then process them into better quality images by giving them good quality advice using positive, clear, and structured feedback.  Steven marks images consistently with the scores they deserve.  He critique images sympathetically, hopefully without resorting to cliques like “a record shot”.
