The Analog Film Lab
Max was super patient and attentive to each students needs, including my own. I came in not even knowing what ISO was. Max wasn’t supposed to come outside with us for the shooting portion but he popped out to help me with my first shot and was really patient in doing so. The class was so informative, fun, and rewarding. I met some really awesome new friends as well. I am definitely booking another class to further expand my film/photography skills. Highly suggest. This class was a surprise birthday present from my husband and it was probably the best present he’s ever given me. -
Crash Course: Camera Basics
Good amount of info, but it really is a crash course. 3 hours is not enough time to practice all of the concepts they discuss. Didn’t love the instructor.. he wasn’t very engaging and when I went up to him after to ask him a question about my camera, he just looked annoyed, and gave me as quick a response to get me out the door. Was a good class for what I paid, but probably won’t be back anytime soon.
