What you'll learn in this camera class:

Large Format Cameras Demystified

See what excited photographers from the early 1800's when the only shutter you had was your hat and the flash was a tray of gunpowder.  Learn about the advances that have been made with modern cameras and how the camera is used to this day.  A fun hands-on day where we will cover it all up to the moment digital backs were put on view cameras.

Students are encouraged to bring their own cameras if desired.

    The large format workshop was incredible! I had been wanting to get some hand's on experience, but never had the opportunity and was intimidated by the equipment. Jeffrey, the instructor, was the best! He was very experienced and knowledgeable, taught us everything about the a large format camera, and I had a wonderful experience and feel much more proficient in large format photography!

Question from Ralph
Does this class cover how to put the film into the film holder?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi there! Yes, learning to load your film into a holder is an important part of the process. The student will practice in daylight and then with eyes closed and then in a changing bag which is a portable darkroom and acts as cover for loading in total darkness. Since Polaroid and Fuji Film stopped their production of instant film we no longer make Polaroids as we used to but we do cover everything needed to understand the camera and enable one to make your exposures on sheet film.
