"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."

-Betty Blecha
