Overview

Large format photography is a beautiful way to get exquisite detail in photographs and take a slower approach to making images.

Over a weekend, you will learn the basics of large format photography – from camera knowledge and theory to creating detailed contact prints of your images in the darkroom. For those who have shot film before or have never set foot in a darkroom, this course will teach anyone the basics of making beautiful images utilising a technical camera and a historical process.

Understand 4×5 film (a film negative almost 16x larger than your average frame size of 35mm film!), load double dark negative slides, shoot your first images and develop them, all within a single weekend. Transport back to the 1800s with this unique process and bring out your inner Ansel Adams.

This crash course is open to all levels of photographic experience, perfect for beginners all the way through to experienced image-makers.
