Behind the Shot – Image Critiques #18

The Behind the Shot Image Critique Shows are hosted by Steve Brazill and Don Komarechka, and on this show we welcome fine art and macro photographer Monica Royal to the show. I have known Monica for many years, and in some ways, she is responsible – even though she doesn’t know it – for these critique shows. Years ago my buddy Troy Miller, who has been a guest here and on the normal podcast, suggested I try judging image competitions. The first one he hooked me into was for PPSDC, the Professional Photographers of San Diego County. The moderator of the competition that night was none other than Monica. He knowledge about photography was immediately clear. Monica is an amazing, award winning, fine art photographer. She sponsored my Miller’s Labs. and Tamron USA, and she has recently also work with my friends at Platypod. I am so very excite to have Monica join Don and I for this show.
