instant magic

instant magic

excited to announce I'll be teaching a one-day instant photography workshop at the lovely teahouse studios in berkeley on saturday, september 17th!

I'll tell you, I receive more emails about my polaroid work--- how did I get started? what polaroid cameras do I shoot with? what cameras do I recommend and where can they be found? how much will they cost? what film do I use? what do I look for when I'm shooting? how do I get the colors? I cannot tell you how fun it's been to develop a workshop that covers all these questions (and more). this is the workshop I desperately needed when I first started out, the one I went looking for and could not find. I know from experience just how overwhelming the realm of instant photography can be. feels like there are a hundred different types of cameras and films to experiment with-- each with their own advantages, their own quirks. so I took all my experience, my trials and errors, all my research and experimentation to create one big hands-on super fun instant photography workshop. busting at the seams with instant photography love, friends. and that's the truth.

so if you'd like to spend an afternoon shooting with a gaggle of polaroid cameras in a gorgeous light-filled studio, get thee to my workshop. we'll be playing with a wide variety of cameras, shooting with both integral and peel apart film and naturally, we'll take to the streets of berkeley for the most awesome photo walk ever.

(a look at my first instant photography workshop can be found here and more information on the upcoming workshop can be found here. space is limited so if you're interested, get your registration on. oh, and if you need further incentive, the lovely susannah conway will be teaching the same weekend! on sunday! sign up for both workshops for the ultimate photography weekend)

  2. this would be so awesome! i'm actually moving to san francisco some time in the next few months (as soon as my fiancé, who's living out there now, can find an affordable apartment). maybe someday you'll teach another one and i can go - it really is something i've always wanted to learn more about without having to buy every single kind of polaroid camera and film!

  4. I'd love to be there but will be across the pond. How about doing one of these in Portland, where we both live? I have a feeling you could easily fill a class here.

  5. Wish I could come!! I yearn for answers to the questions that you mention in the post. But I live in South Africa. And on a student budget.
