DEVELOP & RAW is a film boot camp of sorts. It’s a two-day, intensive workshop on the hows and whys of shooting film and incorporating it into your workflow. Whether you’re looking to add a few rolls to your digital coverage or take the leap to 100% film, this workshop can help you explore the medium and up your game. 

You’ll need a basic grasp on shooting in manual mode and access to a film camera — but even if you’ve never handled a roll of film before, we’ve got you covered. We’ll explain camera formats, film stocks, metering, natural and artificial light sources, and all the stuff you need to know to ACTUALLY shoot film with success. 

The afternoon will be devoted to a styled session where you’ll have the chance to apply these techniques and create beautiful film images for your portfolio. Each attendee is given personal attention and plenty of time to shoot. Throughout the session, we’ll talk about strategies for posing real-life people (not models) and capturing genuine emotion and expression. 

In the evening, we convene for dinner (optional). It’s a time to relax, have fun, and ask me anything in an informal setting. I’m an open book! The next day we reconvene to discuss the shoot and go over the business side of shooting film. It's an intense day of numbers, book keeping and how to run a proper film business for profit! 

The cost for the D&R workshop is $850 and is limited to 5 photographers. Lunch and snacks are provided. Travel and hotel are not included. A private Facebook group will be created to share info and discuss lodging and transportation. You’ll also get a headshot done by me, a portfolio review of your recent work, a critique of your workshop images, and plenty of goodies and prizes from my sponsors!
