Analog Film Photography Classes

Learn the art of analog film photography.

Step away from digital and into the tactile world of analog photography. These classes explore traditional film photography techniques including what film stocks to use, which film cameras may suit you and guide you in creative processes like film soup, double exposures, and polaroid transfers. Whether you’re chasing the timeless look of fine art photography or just craving the hands-on magic of working with film, you’ll find inspiration here. Analog isn’t about perfection—it’s about surprise, process, and creating photographs that feel alive.

The Process is the Point

This hands-on, analog film and mixed media workshop will push you out of your comfort zone into experimental techniques to help you let go of perfectionism and fear, and help you learn to work by instinct and trust.
