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 a proper portfolio review, a crit master reads the whole edit and writes it up, for a fee.
Made by photographers who have sat on both sides of the table. Why we built it.
Prints on a table, hands going up. Now it’s a link.
crit.photoHow 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.

See the results
Frames ranked by score, the vote split on each one, and every comment under the frame it belongs to.
Crit masters
Or get a portfolio review from someone whose judgement you already trust.
A crit master is a working photographer, read and vetted by us. Their critique is a vote and 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. Pick one to see what it draws.
- One to five stars on every frame. Nobody has to be taught it.
- Thumbs up or thumbs down, one frame at a time.
- Four marks, for work that has to hang together: an exhibition, a photobook, a zine, a portfolio site, a sequence.
Three frames from one set, read as Star RatingYay / NayCurate.

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.
