Submission of images: £15 maximum 6 participants Observers: £5
Creative Feedback Sessions are relaxed, constructive online events designed to help you move your photography forward. Whether you’re feeling stuck, experimenting with something new, or simply want a deeper understanding of your work, these sessions offer thoughtful discussion without judgement or comparison.
● Online session lasting 1.5 hours
● Maximum of 6 participants submitting images
● Each participant can submit up to 3 images
● Images are discussed live by a member of the Wilde Academy team: Janina, Angela, Olena, Helen or Abi - you will know who your host will be at the time of booking.
● Feedback is supportive, constructive, and collaborative — never competitive
You’ll have time to talk through your images, ask questions, and explore ideas in a way that feels encouraging and genuinely useful.
People join for lots of different reasons:
● You’ve started exploring a new genre and want some guidance
● You’re chasing a particular look or feeling but can’t quite crack it
● You love an image, but others don’t seem to connect with it — and you’d like to understand why
● You want fresh perspectives that help you see your work differently
It’s also a brilliant way to meet the team and get a feel for what it’s like to attend a Wilde Academy course or workshop.
And yes — this is very much a learning experience. Anyone who’s attended a Wilde Academy course will tell you that some of the biggest lightbulb moments come from these shared feedback discussions.
That’s absolutely fine.
If you’d like to learn by listening and watching, you can join as an observer. You’ll still gain insight from the discussion, questions, and shared experiences — often sparking ideas for your own work later on. Please note the observers spaces are only released 2 weeks before the session.
