About this Event
Who this is for:
This workshop is for ANYONE interested in learning how to make images on large format film cameras! This part 2 WORKSHOP will both demonstrate and allow for hands on development of Large Format Film!
There will be two ticket tiers: The first is a Demo ONLY, where you'll watch the instructor go over and in real time develop film. Then after, you'll watch the second tier students develop their film as the instructor guides them through the process. The Second Tier includes chemicals and hands on development guided by instructor Steve Abbott. This is especially best for those participating in the previous Part 1 course.
*NOTE: The Hands on ticket INCLUDES the Demo!
What will be covered:
This workshop will begin with a ~90 min. introduction/presentation of the topics below, then we will begin the hands on outdoor portion just a short walk away with individuals getting to practice what they've learned and get answers to questions in real time! Tickets are limited to 10 people so everyone gets enough hands on shoot time! So get a spot before it sells out!
Topics:
- How to Load exposed film into a daylight tank
- How to Choose the right chemical developer
- How to Develop the film
- How to Dry film
- How to “quick scan” to inspect the developed film
What you'll need to bring:
Nothing! All materials will be provided for you!
The Workshop Instructor: Steve Abbott
Steve Abbott has been shooting film for more than a decade and has taken to larger formats and alternative processes, like wet-plate collodion, along the way. Mostly self-taught, Steve took a Medium and Large Format class at Sacramento State that augmented that journey with theory and practical experience. His passion with portraiture, large format film, and tintype led to being hired for a project for the California State Railroad Museum in which he photographed staff and exhibits for their public outreach booklet. Using vintage cameras and sheet film feels like time travel to Steve as he imagines what was once seen on the ground glass of the camera when it was first used.
