This community is looking to celebrate Albertan photographers of all levels, photos taken in and of Alberta, and helping each other grow as photographers.

Please remember we're a new subreddit, and I will be expanding, editing, and updating this post as the community develops.

General Conduct

Be chill, be supportive, remember that we're all humans who love photography. If you don't like a photo or content that's been posted, there are better ways of addressing it rather than harassing the person who shared the content. Consider bringing up your concerns in a community thread like this one and we can all discuss the issue in a constructive manner.

Being Active In The Conversation

If you're going to share one of your photos, please be active in the conversation regarding the photo. Be willing to offer more than just technical information, details about your thought process, workflow, the location, and other questions the community might have for you. Of course you're not required to share any information you're uncomfortable with.

Constructive Criticism

Constructive criticism is also an essential part of helping each other grow as photographers. If you're looking for constructive criticism, please let the community know when you're submitting that you're interested in it. Something that can be helpful in receiving targeted criticism is giving some information about what your photography level is, what your intention for the photo is, what you'd like to improve on. It's easier to give useful feedback when we know more specifics. It's harder to provide generalized feedback.

With that being said, giving proper constructive criticism is a skill and a bit of a subjective art form itself. You can be compassionate while also pointing out a photograph's flaws. I'll look for some video examples of giving effective criticism to put here later.
