An introduction to 35mm film photography.
“This workshop immersed me into the unique world of view cameras and large format photography—truly a luxury and an exercise. It was acceptable to spend time (for me, hours) composing the entire frame. In a digital age where everything is figured out for you, it’s so easy to get trigger-happy. This process trained me to actually take the time to think—every setting, every factor of lighting—all to take a single frame. With the work you put in, this physical, single frame can be far more rewarding than a hundred digital frames. It’s such a fun workshop, and having a physical result is satisfying.

A one day, hands-on workshop introducing photographers to film photography.
Through hands-on demonstrations, we will explore the technical aspects of view cameras. Participants will shoot at an outdoor location (preselected by instructor), or at a place of your choice.
Several Sinar and Cambo view cameras are available during the workshop, however, prior reservation is required. Participants are also encouraged to bring their own large format cameras.
Film can be processed and developed for an additional fee on the day of the workshop.
Who is this workshop suited to?
This is the perfect course for the photographer who wishes to explore a new way of approaching their work. Slow down, observe and shoot sparingly. Take the time to use the movements and control of a view camera in a variety of ways. A solid understanding of photographic basics is needed.
