Print Assessment 11th June 2026
Table Top Photography
For this assessment we had a guest judge, ChatGPT, whose identity was divined before the "surprise" was revealed. Bruce had tested and revised a number of photographic judging prompts before letting AI loose on our members. Most would agree that, apart from some jargon difficulties, it was a worthwhile experiment. The jargon can be refined or eliminated but the consistency with which AI performed the task was impressive. Given the ongoing difficulty in securing external judges for our assessments, AI has a future role to play.
In the end, we had a winner, Joseph Horvat. Here's are the AI judge's comments:
"A beautifully modelled ceramic form and its reflection create a mysterious, almost planetary double image. An ordinary studio object is transformed into something sculptural and enigmatic. Excellent control of symmetry, reflection and texture. Complementary warm–cool lighting adds further appeal. Tonality, focus and surface detail are handled with skill — Highly Commended"
