Testimonials

"Jonathan's printing is exquisite. There is an unparalleled quality to his work that gives me the confidence to entrust him with my finest images. His innovative matting and presentation helped earn me the WPPI grand award for Photojournalism, and he'll print all of my competition prints from now on."

"Jonathan is a great collaborator in the creative process. He has helped me to focus my ideas with great results."

"Jonathan's work is breathtaking...he adds a sense of emotion to my imagery. He is truly an artist."

"[Jonathan's] prints are simply stunning. Not having Jonathan print your images for competition is kind of like going into a duel with a steel sword when you could have chosen a Star Wars light saber. His work is just that good."

"A friend suggested I give you a try and well quite frankly, your prints blew me away. Those first B&W prints were unlike anything I had ever seen…the tonal range was magnificent and the images seemed to 'leap' off the paper. Your willingness to listen and your ability to carry my images to the next level was nothing short of amazing.

Of course, if our relationship had ended there I would have missed out on so much joy in this profession. Creative Vision is the driving force behind everything that I produce photographically. Finding a lab/printer that could share in that vision while maintaining the integrity of my original work was a definite concern. Your willingness to listen and share in my thought process has enabled us to work together, creatively raising the bar in pursuit of the perfect image (which we achieved at MESPPA 2010 with a perfect score of 100 on my image 'Ready to Run')."

"Jonathan Penney is a rare combination of talent, excellence and vision. Simply said, the images that are created exemplify the highest level of artistic craftsmanship and utmost care...each image and the photographer are given the individual attention needed to create a unique image that truly captures a moment in life."

"...Jonathan is interested in bringing me along as a photographic portrait artist. He willingly takes my ideas for how I envision the final print will look, and then makes it come alive."

"When I work with Jonathan on an image I know his talent and expertise will transform my photography into art. The print 'Day Dreamer' is a good example of this collaboration. From the first proof to the final competition print, I knew it would be an award winner; in fact, it scored a 98, received a Kodak Gallery award at CPPA and a Portrait Court of Honor at PPANE. Thank you Jonathan!"

"Congrats on your printing wins! I was in the photojournalism room handling prints when Susan's came through; it was electric to hear the judges argue for 100... And your presentation was ingenious!"

"In my quest to achieve my PPA Masters degree one of the most important factors in attaining the degree is print competition. My printmaker of choice has been Jonathan Penney. Jonathan produces superior competition images that have scored well and have exhibited nationally by PPA. My last print case to PPA included a PPA loan image produced by Jonathan."

"We love working with Jonathan Penney on special projects where the finest attention to detail is of utmost importance. The service and turnaround is always fantastic and our customers absolutely love the results! Our favorite is the Giclée print which allows us to offer something very different and unique than what most of our customers have seen before."

"The competition prints you created are stunning! Once again, thank you for doing such fine work from start to finish. Your prints and mountings are really incredible.

The Jonathan Penney vision and progressive approach to print making is clearly many levels above anything the commercial print services can provide. I had no idea what I was missing until I saw the final print of one of my images for the PPA Print Competition. The judges also recognized the final product as being worthy of placement in the PPA loan collection."

"I've been using Jonathan for my custom printing since the late 90's. Jonathan is my go to person for custom printing when it matters the most. The prints for the 2010 print competitions have really been a highlight for me as they won many awards so far and the last stop for them is the 2011 PPA annual print competition. I highly recommend Jonathan for the prints that really matter."

"...I know [Jonathan] will do a fantastic job on my images, and can always turn a fine image into a work of art."

"Jonathan's skills are unmatched in the industry. He is one of very few true print artists, and his level of creativity inspires me. I trust Jonathan to take my images to their maximum potential."

"I used Jonathan for the first time to print and mount 4 images to enter in SEPPA in 2009. I received 3 merits, (out of four) which I sent to PPA. I was so pleased with the floating mount water color images. I would highly recommend Jonathan, especially if you are looking toward getting degrees in your state or national print competitions."

"I have always done all my own work on competition images. Allowing someone else to work on my images was out of my comfort zone! Choosing Jonathan Penney was certainly the right decision for me. He gave me useful input on my images, and his ideas for presentation were a compliment to my work and style. The delivery of the images we created together was timely, and the quality was superior."

"Thank you Jonathan for working with me to create Masterful Pieces of fine art images. Your unparalleled skills and artistry has helped give my images a look that leaves the viewer speechless. I have worked with you now for the last 15 years and I'm looking forward to the next 15!"

"Jonathan has the ability to turn a photograph into an absolutely amazing work of art as he did with 'The Roundup,' the 2010 Equine Photo of the Year for Cowboys and Indians Magazine. Thank you Jonathan for sharing your gift with me."

"Jonathan, just a note to let you know how happy I am with your printing. I sent you 8 images to print; I entered them at PPA Imaging in 2009 and 2010. Of the 8, I earned 5 merits and 1 loan! Cool! Thanks for all you do."

"I use Jonathan to add an artistic touch to my image presentation. I like the variety of paper surfaces and mounting options available. Everything is always first class. My Tulip print scored 94 at PPANE, title 'Floral Ballet'."

"As you know, I've been really happy with your printmaking. You've made some stunning competition prints for me, and have also helped me with some beautiful B&W greeting cards on watercolor paper. They were exquisite and generated lots of positive comments! Thanks for all your hard work and attention to detail. I know I can count on you when I need the very best!"

"Jonathan is much more than a Master Printmaker, he is a visionary. Jonathan makes your photograph a piece of art."

"Jonathan has both an artist's eye and a craftsman's touch. He can see the potential in an image and enhance its qualities with his printing techniques and paper choices. I can describe how I want images to feel and he can translate that into a tangible work of art. When I sell premium prints, or have a special project or competition—he's the one I turn to."

"I have been printing fine art competition photographs for many years and from time to time used the larger professional labs but none have been able to provide the quality of paper, color rendition and overall print quality of Jonathan Penney's work."

"It's rare in these days and times that I have the opportunity to work with a company that offers professional services at a fair price, with timely delivery and outstanding image quality. I have been a Jonathan Penney client for over 10 years and appreciate his eye for composition and artful presentation techniques. Jonathan creates images that indeed make my work be the best it can be!"

"...I remember the first time I opened the box to see one of my images that had been printed by Jonathan. I just stood there speechless, shaking my head. After a few minutes I boxed it back up and drove it to another artist across town and said, you've got to see this print, it's unreal."

"...Jonathan takes what is and helps you make it what it can be."

"Jonathan you can make an ordinary image into an extra ordinary piece of art... Thanks to you I had two first place images at the GPPA convention."

"Best Black and White printing ever. Jonathan is always willing to work with me to get the results that my clients and I want."

"We can always count on Jonathan Penney to go above and beyond with our client orders and our competition images. Thank you for always giving us top-of-the line service and quality!"

"If a picture paints a thousand words, then Jonathan Penney has found a way to multiply its impact exponentially! For over a decade, Jonathan has printed my images for competition and the collaboration has yielded me seven Fuji Masterpiece Awards, even more PPA Loan Collection prints, several highest print scores in the Wedding category at NY State Conventions, several judges' choices Awards, and many very happy clients. He is simply Masterful at recognizing the true potential of an image and creating a piece of art that captivates and moves the viewer. I will forever be a grateful and loyal client."

"Jonathan Penney is the best printmaker that I have ever worked with. His eye for detail is superb and I can't image anyone else printing my work for competition. I've been working with Jonathan on my competition prints for a few years now and each year gets better and better—largely thanks to his incredible print work!"

"Jonathan's editing and printmaking skills are beyond compare! He uncovers an image's underlying true potential, and I am truly pleased with all the work he has done for me. The care and attention he brings to images makes him a joy to work with."

"Whenever I have a project of the utmost importance, it's never a question of who will print it. The answer is always Jonathan Penney. I owe my Master of Photography designation to you, as well as hundreds of bookings because my clients are continually impressed by the work you've printed for our gallery walls (and theirs!) "

"Of my three prints printed by you this year, two received the Judge's Seal of Approval at the SEPPA District Print Judging in April. Those two will now be judged for the PPA Loan Collection and hopefully the third, with a new title will also receive a PPA Exhibition Merit. At least four other of my merited prints were printed by you, so you will have accounted for seven or more of my exhibition merits toward my Masters degree."

"I like working with Jonathan because of how he sees my images and his ability to hone in on the best of my work. Having an independent eye is essential to the growth of my business and personal creativity. He makes the good, better and the better, best."

"Hello Jonathan.... I am sooo excited! Scored an 87 on my very first ever print submission into a print competition. Print received a sealed blue and it was also nominated into the Court of Honors. Thank you!"

"To say Jonathan Penney is a Master Printer is an understatement... I can't imagine anyone else touching my fine-art, competition or exhibition prints."

"When I decided to begin entering print competition, I turned to Jonathan Penney to do my printing. Thanks to Jonathan, I am due to receive my Master of Photography in January 2011. He has also provided me with exquisite wall portraits that adorn my studio."

"Jonathan Penney is truly a master printer! Extremely patient, kind and listens to what my needs are. He takes my images to a whole new level! He's just the BEST!"

"I won't settle for anyone other than Jonathan to create my competition prints. Jonathan knows how to enhance the mood that I am trying to convey to the viewer or judge. His matting is so innovative. He is a master!!!"

"I received my museum print today… it is more beautiful than imagined…. Completely stunning… THANK YOU! Wow, I am just so happy… I am going to show it to everyone!"

"It's been a genuine pleasure working with you. From start to finish, your professionalism and guidance has been incredible. I appreciate how you took the ten images I supplied you with and narrowed them down to your favorite four. What's more, I love the direction you took with my portraits. I'm confident that your artful enhancements will bring me one step closer to earning the last few merits I need to achieve my Masters Degree. Thank you for everything."

"Jonathan, you're a huge help when it comes to choosing competition prints. I trust your advice and when the work is done, the finished print always exceeds my expectations. Thank you for your fabulous attention to detail and expert printing abilities."

"Over the last few years I've been shooting photographs from around the world. When I decided it was time to do something with these photos I knew Jonathan Penney would be the perfect partner. Taking a great photograph is just the start of turning it to a piece of art. What you do with that image in post can really take it to a whole new level. That is what Jonathan Penney has done with my images—taken them to a whole new level. I can't believe the response I get from all my clients once they walk in my studio and see the beautiful fine art prints that Jonathan has done for me. I not only use him for my fine art travel images but now use him for my wedding images. Jonathan is definitely a Master Printmaker."

"Through a combined effort of my photography and Jonathan's incredible eye to take my art to the next level, I realized my dream of earning my Masters from PPofA, a Photographer of the Year for two consecutive years and a Kodak Gallery Award. Jonathan's one on one style of communication leaves the customer with the satisfaction of knowing the final project will be of merit quality while keeping the integrity of the photographer's original image. I wouldn't have anyone else print my competition prints."

"I was introduced to Jonathan through one of my colleagues last year. Jonathan's insight into printing is incredible to say the last! All 4 of my prints went blue last year with one of them scoring a 90! I needed three merits to get my Master of Photography Degree and I got them with Jonathan's excellent printing. This year two of his prints won me two Fuji Masterpiece Awards! Needless to say he is the best of the best!"

"The passion Jonathan Penney has for his printmaking is obvious when viewing his before and after masterpieces. His creative collaboration with the artist's sense of style is seen here in this award winning print. Having a degree in Radiology I always wanted to combine the two arts together so with Jonathan's artistic approach a masterpiece was created."

"Not only does Jonathan have a wealth of creative talent, but he understands the details and intricacies of printing and how light really works. On top of that, he's so easy to work with, it's a no-brainer."

"I was introduced to Jonathan's work several years back. I use him to print my black & white work. The quality of his work is impeccable and he has great service. What sold me on Jonathan was the encouragement I received from him. His kind words and support pushed me to strive harder to improve my personal artwork. Jonathan goes beyond just selling you a great product, he strives to help you reach your artistic goals, and that is a very rare."

"Jonathan has taken my prints to a new level, all my clients have remarked on how beautiful they are. It's given me a new product line that my clients are loving."

"Working with Jonathan on my image for print competition was a great experience. His ideas were outstanding and very creative. I liked the fact that he was willing to work with me on making small changes to the image as I entered it at different levels. And the final result.... A MERIT! :) Thank you Jonathan, I look forward to working with you on future images."
