Beginning Film Photography: Black and White

May 9, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - May 30, 2021 @ 2:30 pm

$172

Bielawski – Sundays, May 9-30, 1-2:30 pm (In-person)

 

In this four-session course, we will learn to operate a film camera and to expose film properly for light with shutter speed and F-stop. We will focus on composition techniques and study the work of other important photographers including Walker Evans, Sally Mann, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, and An-My Lê among others. This is a composition class, not a darkroom one! Negatives will be developed and printed outside of class so that we can focus on developing the photographic eye. Prior experience with film photography is welcomed, but not at all required.

 

About the Instructor:

Morgan Bielawski is a writer and photographer from Northern California. She honed her photography skills at Bard College in Upstate N.Y. with professors Stephen Shore and An-My Lê; there she developed a passionate interest in film photography. Morgan writes primarily short stories and nonfiction; her work has been published in The Documentarian, Lux, and Sui Generis. She also translates stories and poems from Russian and Middle English to (Modern) English. Morgan has a BA in Written Arts, and two academic concentrations: one in film photography, and another in Russian. In her spare time, Morgan plays and records American folk music and looks after her two fish.
