The Art of Film Photography

Thursdays, August 13 & 20 | 6pm – 8pm

$125 – No makeup dates

In this two-week intensive workshop series, participants will learn the fundamentals of 35mm and medium format film photography plus the historical background of film photography, while developing their own creative vision through hands-on assignments, guided critiques, and portfolio-building exercises. Working with both natural and indoor light, students will gain confidence using a film camera and experience the unique rhythm of analog photography.

Day One: Foundations & Golden Hour We will begin with the practical aspects of shooting film, including camera types, ISO, film stocks, exposure, and a brief history of photography and roll film. Students will then head out on a guided golden-hour photo walk through downtown Delray Beach, photographing within a creative theme developed during class. Subjects may include street photography, portraiture, architecture, and everyday moments found along the way. At the end of class, students will submit their exposed roll to the instructor for professional processing and scanning.

Homework: Shoot one additional roll of film independently, applying the techniques and creative concepts explored during class.

Day Two: Indoor Photography on Film Building on the first week’s experience, students will explore photographing portraits indoors in a studio setting using available and continuous artificial light and creative composition. The session will include additional instruction, shooting exercises, and discussion about refining one’s visual style. Students will complete another roll of film during class before submitting it for professional processing and scanning.

Homework: Shoot one final roll independently, creating a small body of work that reflects your personal interests and creative voice.

**The workshop fee does not include film, professional processing and high-resolution scanning of the rolls exposed during class.

Participants must bring:

• A 35mm film camera

• Four rolls of film (Kodak Ektacolor Pro 400 and Pro 800, Kodak Gold 200, Ilford XP2 super 400 Black and White), 35mm film  (one roll will be used during each class assignment and two rolls will be used for homework assignments)

Open to beginners and intermediate photographers. No prior film photography experience is required!
