Large format photography is still popular due to the detail in the results, the control of focusing and the contemplative approach in using it. This course will introduce you to large format camera techniques and equipment, along with the advantages and disadvantages of working in this way. Practical demonstrations are an important part of this short course, as well as a discussion about digital technology.
What previous students liked most about their course:
“Small groups meant that we could take part in all activities.”
“I liked that Matthew could teach at multiple levels simultaneously.”
“The teacher was excellent, professional equipment.”
