Stephen Johnson Studios & Gallery
Pacifica, California.
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.
Steve will go through your photographs, talk with you about what he thinks works, and aspects that could be improved. Composition, original execution, editing and printing will all be discussed. You can explore your concerns and aspirations for the work and you will get honest feedback and encouragement on how to make the images stronger.
The session will be conducted from 7 until 10pm (if needed), and refreshments will be available. Attendance will be limited to 10 students wishing to show work, others may attend to listen and learn. Prints or digital files are acceptable forms of presentation. Projection will be available. Registration requires the pre-submission of sample work.
Virtual Critiques
If you can't be here in person, join us for Virtual Consulting or our cost saving Mentoring Program.
““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.””
