Crit

Every set has the frames that work. Finding them is the hard part.

Put a set in front of people and get a vote and a note on every frame. Voters need no account. When you want the judgement of a photographer you respect, a crit master reads the whole edit for a fee.

Made by photographers who have sat on both sides of the table. Why we built it.

How it works

Photography is everywhere now and the conversation about it is not. This is the old curation process, prints on a table and somebody telling you the truth about them, put somewhere it can still happen.

01

Upload the set

Drag the frames in and put them in the order you would show them. The set stays in your account.

02

Send the link

Whoever you send it to enters a name and starts voting. No account, no install. Invite by email when you want the set kept close.

03

Read the result

Frames ranked by score, the vote split on each one, and every comment under the frame it belongs to.

Crit masters

Or hand the edit to someone whose judgement you already trust.

A crit master is a working photographer, read and vetted by us. They vote and write a note on every frame in the set, then a written read of the work as a whole. One fee, priced by the size of the set, inside a week.

The directory opens as masters finish their profiles.

Every frame
A vote and a written note on each photo in the set.
The whole set
A read of what the work is doing as a body.
Inside a week
Late or declined and the fee comes back.

Three ways to vote

Chosen per set. The mode decides how a frame is scored and how much a voter has to think about.

Yay / Nay
Simple thumbs up or down
Star Rating
Rate each photo 1–5 stars
Curate
Detailed feedback for portfolio selection

This site is not for everything. What it does, it does as well and as directly as it can.

Built by photographers, professional and otherwise. Upload a set. You need an account for that; the people you send it to need nothing at all.

Crit keeps one cookie, the one that remembers you are signed in. There is no analytics, no advertising and no third party script on this site, so there is nothing else to agree to. How we handle your work.
