FAQs
What topics are covered?
1
This series covers camera knowledge (exposure triangle, menus, lenses), film basics (film types, loading, metering, and lab vs. home developing from 35mm up to large format), plus hands-on shooting, developing, and scanning. Lighting covers natural light, continuous lighting, and basic flash with simple modifiers; composition focuses on visual language through exercises and critique and can be woven into any module; you’ll also do a guided photo walk with mini assignments, plus an edit/review session on selecting images, sequencing, and a brief overview of color correction.
What should I bring? What materials are provided?

Digital cameras are not provided, so participants must bring their own DSLR, mirrorless, CCD, or similar camera. Film cameras are available in limited quantities (first come, first served), and we recommend bringing a laptop for certain classes; all other class materials will be provided.
