I am starting a print showing/sharing event 4-6pm on Saturday September 28. Email to RSVP and reserve a spot to share or merely enjoy viewing. This is an opportunity to bring prints to share your recent work and show your prints. It is not a review or critique unless you want that, it is a chance to show and see the special quality of original prints. I am starting this with no charge connected to it.

There is a long tradition in photography of gathering and sharing work. These Photo Sharing days can continue that tradition.

Feedback on our work has proven critical to many of us involved in the arts. In this emerging age of digital photography, it is hard to find people knowledgeable in the technology and with a background and experience in the fine arts.

Composition, original execution, editing and printing can all be discussed. You can explore your concerns and aspirations for the work for feedback and encouragement on how to make the images stronger.

The session will be conducted from 2 until 4pm and refreshments can be brought and shared. Attendance will be limited to 10 people wishing to show work, others may attend to observe.

Virtual Critiques

If you can't be here in person, join us for Virtual Consulting or our cost saving Mentoring Program.

Printing class critique. 2005

I have had the pleasure of attending Stephen Johnson’s Print Critique sessions four times so far, and I expect to repeat the experience many times in the future. Stephen has an uncanny ability to spot color cast issues with his naked eye and to recognize cropping opportunities that significantly strengthen the final print. He also has a wealth of knowledge on paper and printer choices. He identifies both weaknesses and strengths in the submitted images in a way that makes you receptive to his suggestions. If you want to learn from a master printer and photographer in a very relaxed atmosphere, this is the place to do it.

As an old film-darkroom photographer, I sometimes find all the choices of digital imaging to be overwhelming. I have especially struggled with printing. I recently attended a Stephen Johnson Critique Session at his Pacifica studio in hopes of getting some feedback on my digital prints. I have never learned more in such a compact amount of time. Steve is generous and giving of his vast knowledge of digital imaging. He also gives advice in a manner that not only improves your technique but also refines your photographic vision. I would highly recommend these critiques to anyone interested in being a better photographer.
