"The quantity of images to be critiqued by our Icons seems to increase
with each series and the Icons are really enjoying the quality of the work
submitted," said Jaja Lin, Flash product marketing manager, Kingston(R). "The
continued positive response demonstrates the benefits of the Icons program
educating consumers on Kingston Flash memory. The Icons have said sharing so
much of their knowledge and experience with digital photographers of all
levels is tremendously rewarding."
Critique My Image, a feature offered through Kingston's 'Icons of
Photography' microsite, provides professional and aspiring photographers with
an opportunity to have their images reviewed by some of the best photographers
in the world. In this installment, each photographer selected several images
from the scores of photographs submitted and provided constructive advice for
improving or enhancing each photograph. From lighting and exposure to
composition and styling, each critique is constructed as a lesson that can be
applied by all viewers to their respective photography. Visitors are
encouraged to upload images for critique by logging onto
http://www.kingston.com/iop.
"It is a wonderful feeling to be consulted by fellow photographers for our
opinions about their work," said Harry Benson. "Good photography comes from
the heart and often represents a very personal side of that photographer.
Kingston's Icons program gives us an opportunity to view beautiful work and
offer our humbled opinions about how it might be improved next time. That's
what is special about this program to me."
Kingston's 'Icons of Photography' includes Benson, acclaimed documentary
photographer and photojournalist, Colin Finlay, National Geographic
photographer Gerd Ludwig and Sports Illustrated photographer Peter Read
Miller.
Consisting of three elements -- 20 Questions, Ask the Icon and Critique My
Image -- the site provides visitors with personal insight in an interactive
forum where questions can be asked and images can be shared with the Icons.
The microsite will continue to showcase the latest work produced by each
photographer, along with a listing of upcoming projects, lectures and
workshops from each. In February, Kingston will publish 20 Questions with Gerd
Ludwig, an up-close-and-personal interview.
