These basics include composition, the mechanics of your camera and a rudimentary understanding of film development. Join her around the neighborhood for a photo shoot to put these lessons to use. The class will conclude with film development. Yes, you will develop your own film!* Students will shoot an entire roll of film and develop the roll with Tess' help. Class is limited to 5 so register soon! *Due to the nature of film photography, students may not have a successful roll of film. However, the journey is always more exciting than the destination!
