Introduction to Analog Photography with Natural Light

“We have come to the end! Thank you for participating in this course. I hope you liked it and made you want to practice film photography with passion. Now is the time to prepare your project. This one can be the photoshoot you already started with the exercises or you can do a new one! In any case, take care to document the different stages of your creation and add a brief explanation of what you did in each of them as well as your choices. I leave you below the main steps to follow: Find the place First, locate a location to photograph using internet search tools. Once there, and depending on the light conditions, choose your film and if necessary use a tripod.

The creative community is always very constructive and caring. You can also share your photos on social networks or, if you feel ready, participate in calls for applications. I wish you good luck and see you very soon!”
