How to Shoot Film

On March 27th, a two-hour session was held to teach participants how to shoot film, tailored for budding photographers. The event was presented in partnership with the esteemed photo access Film Lab and welcomed both SLR and disposable camera users. It provided essential insights tailored for beginners, serving as an excellent opportunity to demystify the art of capturing memorable moments on analog film.
