Class Description:
Do you love the look of analog photography but don’t have a camera or experience using one? Join us for Simple Film Camera Basics, a beginner-friendly introduction to film photography with disposable and automatic analog cameras.
This workshop covers the basics of film photography, including an overview of film and camera types, tips for photographing effectively with a disposable camera, and an understanding of the limitations and quirks of automatic analog cameras. We’ll also walk through what happens after you photograph, from development to digital scans.
Your registration includes a disposable camera, film development, and digital scans of your negatives. All photographs made during the workshop will be eligible for submission to the inaugural issue of Wider Skies Magazine.
