Film Photography is making a comeback! Come learn what makes film so unique and beautiful and learn how to best use your film camera with instructor Mike Pacheco!
This is the essential class for anyone looking to either get into film photography or relearn the basics that they once knew. Discussion points in the class will include:

  • The basic settings on film cameras, including exposure, aperture and shutter speed
  • Properly loading, unloading, and storing film
  • Current films (“film stocks”) and what unique characteristics they hold
  • What to look for and how to achieve amazing results!
