Learn the VIEW CAMERA at CCSF!

This fall semester, I'll be teaching View Camera again at CCSF.  It's on Saturday afternoons.

This is a great class for students who have taken a darkroom class before, and want to expand their knowledge of photography.  The view camera is a very versatile tool, and a must for those who want to continue with a career in photography.

Some of the benefits of the view camera:
  • Film based - no digital capture 
  • Large format film records more detail.  
  • You can process one picture at a time for more control
  • Ability to control the placement plane of focus
  • Ability to control perspective and distortion
  • Easily create multi-exposure pictures
  • Optical tricks - disappear in the mirror
  • Get an instant print with an Fuji instant film back.
  • Cool factor - you'll look great sporting one of these cameras!
