Workshops
Are you intrigued by the magic of film photography and would like to explore the world of vintage film and cameras? Do you want to move away from digital and return to instant photography, finally understanding how a camera works in all its subtleties?
In this 3-hour workshop, Lou, our passionate photographer, will guide you step by step through the basics of film photography to reveal all its secrets. We’ll learn how to adjust a camera’s settings and tools to understand the results and better analyze what isn’t working in your photos. Whether it’s blur, grain, exposure, or any other “mistake” or lucky shot, we’ll move beyond chance and take another step toward mastery!
During the workshop, you will learn how to:
• Handle a film camera
• Adjust settings: ISO, aperture, shutter speed, etc.
• Load and unload film
• Understand film and light
• Discover the chemistry of film (there will be no darkroom development in this workshop)
• Practice shooting
• Acquire tools to progress independently
You will be able to handle the equipment yourself, take your own test shots, and analyze negatives on a light table to better understand your successes and possible adjustments.
Required skills: none! This workshop is designed for curious beginners eager to dive into the fascinating world of film photography.
The price includes all demonstration equipment, as well as expert advice from a professional photographer.
Please note: If you already own a film camera, feel free to bring it along to compare with what we’ll be covering, and ask any questions you may have. Be sure to have a roll of film loaded in it. If you don’t have a camera, we can advise you on the best one to buy.
