Class Description

Description

This three-day intensive workshop with photographer Nick Carver offers a deep, hands-on immersion into the craft of film photography with a focus on medium and large format analog techniques. Designed for photographers seeking to strengthen their technical foundation, this workshop explores the full analog workflow—from exposure and metering to field discipline, camera operation, and intentional image-making.

Working both in the field and in structured shooting scenarios, participants will gain practical experience using film-based systems while learning how to slow down and refine their visual decision-making process. Emphasis will be placed on understanding light, composition, and subject response through the deliberate pace that analog photography demands.

Nick Carver will demonstrate his approach to location-based shooting, including problem-solving in real time and adapting to environmental conditions. Group critiques and guided discussions will reinforce technical learning while encouraging participants to develop consistency and confidence in their analog practice.

Equipment Requirements: Any camera with aperture and shutter control will be fine for this workshop, however if you’d specifically like to practice large format view control with rise, shift, and tilt, you’ll need to have a view camera with those capabilities. Any brand and any format will be fine. Nick will be addressing the use of a reflected light meter for exposure metering in this workshop, so you should have a handheld reflected spot meter if you want to participate in those exercises. Any handheld reflected spot meter will be fine but Nick specifically recommends the Pentax Digital Spotmeter, Pentax Spotmeter V, and the Reveni Labs Spot Meter Mk 3. There will not be loaner cameras or meters available.
