About this Event
Step into an intimate, pop-up film photography experience designed for connection, creativity, and craft. This hands-on Date Night workshop introduces you to 35mm photography from shutter to sink.
During the workshop, you will:
- Shoot a roll of 35mm film using a manual camera ?️
- Learn how to frame, compose, and slow down your eye ?
- Develop your own film by the end of the night in our pop-up darkroom ?
No experience required. Whether this is your first roll or you’ve been shooting film for years, this workshop is about learning by doing—together. Expect an interactive, relaxed environment where curiosity is encouraged and the magic of analog photography comes to life.
