Film for the Studio Photographer

Sept. 6th & 7th

Film photography has seen a renaissance over the past several years and it is no wonder.  This classic medium is beautiful, fun to work with and easier to use than you might think.  However, most film photographers are most comfortable using their film only when shooting outdoors.

I want to change that.

I’ve been a studio photographer for the past 24 years!  And I work exclusively in studio, and exclusively with film.  

Adding film to your studio workflow is a game changer!  In this workshop, I will walk you through everything you need to know to make it happen, including working with strobes and flash!

Attendees will learn:

  • The differences and similarities between film and digital

  • How a camera meter works and how to meter for film

  • The different film stock options and how they affect your photo

  • How to use both natural and artificial light when working indoors

  • How find the right lab to process your images

Attendees will also get the chance to practice their new skill, working with models in-studio!
