Analogue Street Photography & Film Processing Workshop

Analogue Street Photography & Film Processing Workshop

An introduction to analogue street photography and film processing led by award-winning photographer and educator Mike Stone @_rodinal on Instagram

Learn how to load and shoot with a mechanical 35mm film camera.

Introduce the techniques of classic street photography and then process your film by hand.

It is suitable for all, from beginners to experienced photographers looking to refresh their skills.

Participants can arrive with nothing (but if you have your own 35mm camera, please bring it along). You will leave with the confidence to tackle street shooting, a roll of processed B&W Film and your favourite frames ready to share.

All materials and chemistry supplied, and we have a range of SLR and Rangefinder cameras we can lend you.
