Making a Print Together: Virtual Workshop

A Workshop Guiding Photographers Toward Printing with Care and Control

A half-day virtual workshop concentrating on digital inkjet printing of your photographs.. It is a great chance to explore digital photographic interpretation with Steve as he works though making a print, demonstrating his printing techniques, executed with restraint and finesse. This class is designed to break down the steps into understandable points of control and connection. Topics Include connectivity, color management, print settings, print evaluation and image aesthetics reflecting our real world experience.

A Q&A session will conclude the workshop and extend past time if needed.

On registration, you will be sent an email with a password to log onto the Session. Email info@sjphoto.com with any questions.

Online Event hosted by Stephen Johnson Studios & Gallery

Critique Testimonials

“I have attended a number of recent critiques of my work at Steve’s gallery. It was a totally worthwhile experience. Steve’s insight into what make a photograph work coupled with his ability to deliver the message based on the skill level of the attendee is top notch. I recently attended his first Virtual Critique and despite the potential constraints of this approach, I found it just as educational and fulfilling as the face to face process. I highly recommend attending Steve’s critiques. You will learn a lot about composition, technique, and image emotion in a supportive and fun environment”
— Mitch Nelles, Half Moon Bay, CA
Steve’s critiques are great whether in person or online, I’ve done both. Hearing what Steve has to say about the other participants gives me more food for thought than just his comments on my images. Everyone should have their images critiqued if they want to progress in photography.
— Lawrence Shapiro
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.
— David Robertson
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.
