There’s a reason working photographers keep coming back to film. It slows you down in exactly the right ways — and when you’re making portraits, that slowness becomes a superpower. This class is built around the way natural light actually works: the quality of a north-facing window, the wrap of open shade, the warmth of late afternoon sun cutting across someone’s face. These are the tools professional film photographers have always relied on, and they’re available to anyone willing to learn how to read them. Class includes 3 rolls of color film, processing, and film scans. All levels welcome. Photo credit: © Amy Badgett
