Shoot with the Best
Learn to create your own “natural light” using strobes and flash with photographer Sandra Coan! She is teaching her signature one-light approach to creating natural-looking light—walking you through what equipment you need, how to set it all up and get it working, and how to meter for both film and digital cameras. She’ll also demo her approach to light placement and posing when working with clients.
Then it’s your turn. Attendees will be given plenty of time to practice setting up and shooting with artificial light, and Sandra will be right there to help you every step of the way! And of course, Richard will develop and scan the film you shoot during the workshop.
Go Inside the Lab
Gather right here at the lab with a small group of your fellow film photographers for an in-depth tour. You'll see exactly what happens when you send your film in for developing & scanning.
You'll even get to experiment with scanning the film you've shot to get a better understanding of the process!
Film & Lab Education
Find out how to get the film scans you've been dreaming of...
Richard's expert team will review all the variables when shooting that affect the look of your scans, the technical capabilities of the Frontier and Noritsu scanning machines, and how to communicate & build a relationship with your lab. Plus, ask all your burning film-related questions!
Sandra Coan, Guest Teacher
“I started my business in 1999 and have worked exclusively with film for most of that time. What I’ve learned over the past 20+ years is that it is 100% possible to build a long term, profitable career as a film photographer. But choosing to work with film comes with a unique set of challenges. As film photographers, light is extremely important to what we do, so learning to create your own light is essential. This one simple skill transformed my work and my business.”
Equipment Partner
Lighting equipment to practice with during the workshop will be provided by our friends at Westcott.
