IN STUDIO ART WORKSHOP: Film Photography 101


Oil and Cotton Creative Exchange

IN STUDIO: Film Photography 101
CLASS DATE: Saturday, August 14, 5-8pm
LOCATION: Oil and Cotton Studio
INSTRUCTOR: Melissa Cunningham
NUMBER OF STUDENTS: We are limiting in person classes to 8 students. Students are required to wear a mask while in the studio, keep distance while outside (masks can be removed outdoors), and adhere to our safety policies.

DESCRIPTION:
For complete newbies or those of you getting back into using film cameras. This class explores the basics of film photography with 35mm and medium format cameras with the option of using black and white or color film. Class is structured with a hands-on demonstration of camera operation, manual controls, loading and unloading film, and troubleshooting issues, followed by guided shooting practice and a thirty minute open shoot. One of the trickiest aspects of shooting with film is making the correct exposure. Melissa teaches a fully manual approach to exposure and walks you through exercises aimed at teaching you how manual controls can be manipulated for creative expression and best use of natural light.

We will provide one roll of black and white or color film per participant. You will leave feeling more confident and hopefully ready for your next roll. Be sure to check your camera’s batteries before class. This class goes great with a friend (model buddy), a drink (BYO), and walking shoes (you never know where we’ll go). Class tuition includes one roll of film

If you do not have a film camera to use, but are interested in the class, we have a limited supply of 35mm and medium format camera rentals available at checkout (see below).

Camera Rental Options:
35mm = $10
Medium Format = $15
