I disagree. Likes and dislikes are just the source of minor little
squabbles and have nothing to do with an instructor's ability to teach a
technical process. Perhaps by like you meant by technical standards, but it
doesn't seem so. There are plenty of photographers out there whose work I
find a crashing bore and they might have reams of valuable technical
information. Just as there might be many of my students who "don't like" my
work, but who find value in my workshops. And, on the other hand, there are
photographers whose work I find stunning who can't teach their way out of a
paper bag.
