    Viva Film!

    I’m so glad there is a class like this offered at the school. Being able to explore the world of film photography while under the tutelage of a gifted photographer is something I’ve wanted to experience for some time.
    Vanessa was a terrific teacher, very open minded and encouraging.
    The class evolved organically from getting to know our cameras, and one another and then each other’s work. This evolution played out each week as we saw more and more of one another’s efforts, our hits our misses, with Vanessa all the while asking astute questions about things like, type of film we used, time of day, camera settings, locations, theme and so on. By the final class I think many of us felt we were just getting started on our journey with film photography.
    I would sign up for a Film 2 class if it’s offered.

    Wonderful Instructor Vanessa for the Intro to Film Photography

    It’s rare that you get an instructor who genuinely wants you to ask questions, and listens astutely when a student is inquiring. I can image what may be an otherwise tedious introduction into photography, Vanessa made the class interesting and all types of learners were able to pay attention. The courses were well thought out and structured, the assignments were challenging and helped us look at all facets of shooting, that we may have otherwise not practiced. I think we all learned so much more than we could have if we just followed YouTube searches or TikTok tutorials. With analog, it did seem truly beneficial to discuss with peers and have a knowledgable (and patient) teacher. Will be looking forward to Film Photography II with Vanessa!
