Film Photography Workshop
We’re over the moon to announce our very first film photography WORKSHOP. Spend the afternoon in the studio with artist and educator Grace Ann Leadbeater learning + shooting manual.
If you’ve had a 35mm or medium format film camera sitting around for forever, and/or are terrified to come off of auto, this one’s for you <3
We’ll begin with film camera (very) basics covering: loading film, manually focusing, testing & reading your light meter, using a virtual light meter, adjusting for lights & shadows, shooting manually and composition. Each person will get hands-on support setting their camera up as needed! We’ll then put it all to practice in the studio, shooting portraits of one another, a still life setup and anything else that catches you eye. We'll wrap with a final troubleshooting Q&A! A shared google drive folder will be set out to share our photos <3
Please note! Everyone will need to download the light meter app, which is $10 in the app store prior to class. You can also opt for a physical light meter if you have a tested, working one!
Bring your own camera, or choose ‘borrow one of ours!’ at checkout.
Hot bevvies will be provided! See you there <3
What can I expect from a workshop at RecCreate?
Workshops at RecCreate are like the art school education your parents never let you get, at a tiny fraction of the price lead by NYC’s most talented creatives + educators. Our emphasis is on education, creative exploration and tool proficiency.
