About the Instructor:

Known for her soulful and personal approach to portraiture, Cheryl Jacobs has the unusual ability to bring out the intensity in her subjects, young and old. Her masterful use of B&W film and natural light give her prints a depth uncommon in today's digital world. Her distinctive style of fine art portraiture is instantly recognizable.

Above all, Cheryl values the opportunity to form bonds with those she photographs, believing that the portrait is simply a side effect of a strong human connection. That belief is the key to her ongoing success, which now extends to commercial and editorial work, writing, and numerous fine art projects. Her unusual printing techniques and teaching methods have been spotlighted by Kodak's ProPass Magazine, and her workshops have received rave reviews worldwide.

I am now offering online critique sessions! No matter where you live, you can now "sit down" with me and get what I like to call a forensic critique.

If you've ever been to one of my workshops, you know how big I am on thorough, meaningful critique. My philosophy on portfolio critiques is to help you identify your tendencies in terms of style, composition, and technique, in order to improve and evolve your entire body of work. I don't think it's enough to simply nit-pick the technical merits of an individual image; your entire portfolio and direction will be considered.

Critiques will be done via phone, Skype, and web (or physical prints, for in-person critiques only) and will last approximately an hour on average. For participants in the Denver Metro area, I'd be happy to meet with you face-to-face. Each participant should submit his or her work / portfolio consisting of 20 - 40 images approximately one week in advance; this will allow me time to thoroughly study the images and make notes. Ideally, I'd also love a one-paragraph description of your work; this helps me understand your perspective, so we can talk about how best to achieve the kind of work you aspire to.

The introductory rate for critique sessions will be $150, and will be booked on a first-come, first-served basis. To request your session, please e-mail me at cj@cheryljacobsphotography.com with the word "critique" in your e-mail header.
