№ 01 · Analyze my photos

Your photographs, read against every open competition.

Drop a handful of photographs. We read each at the scene level — subject, style, composition, palette, cultural markers — and tell you which one wins for which competition, with reasoning you can act on. Never faces. Never identity. Never a verdict without reasoning.

№ 03 · Sample output — what your verdicts look like

Drop photographs.
Get verdicts on each.

These are illustrative examples. When you drop your own photos, every one gets read against each competition's published criteria — category fit, artistic merit, technical quality, originality. The verdict comes back as a tier you can act on, not a number you have to interpret.

92/100 Strong submit
photo_01.jpg Cultural narrative · jury favourite
78/100 Submit
photo_02.jpg Strong composition · clean light

61/100 Maybe
photo_04.jpg Decent · unlikely to place

Honest verdicts only. We don't pad the list with weak matches just to feel useful — if a photograph isn't a real contender, we say so.

№ 03 · Pricing

No subscription required.

The reading is free. When one entry matters — the fee is real and the deadline is close — a one-shot deep read is €14, no account plan, no recurring anything. Subscriptions (Studio, Atelier) exist for photographers who enter all season and want the editorial layer on every read.
