You’re drawn to film photography - but something keeps holding you back. 

Maybe it’s the fear of wasting film.
The confusion around exposure or settings.
The fear of not getting it right.

Or maybe… it’s just the pressure of modern life that makes anything slow and creative feel out of reach.

How to Shoot Film was made for you.
A simple, heartfelt course to help you learn film photography... with confidence, presence, and purpose.

This Course Is For You If...

• You're craving a meaningful hobby that gives you joy and release from a high stress job (tech, medicine, engineering, stay-at-home parent, etc.)

• You’re a digital photographer who wants to fall back in love with photography again. Or perhaps start shooting film for your clients. 

• You want to dust off that film camera you bought years ago and finally start using it. 

• You want to learn the how, but you also care about how it feels to create.

• You’re ready to shoot for joy—not perfection.

Why Film?

Everyone loves film for the 'look.' But the low-key thing I enjoy most about film is that it's a tool for mindfulness that helps you learn how to finally slow down.

Shooting film invites you to notice.

To experience the moment rather than capture it on autopilot.

This course isn’t about shooting like a pro.
It’s about shooting with intention—and remembering why you fell in love with photography in the first place.

What You Get

• Beginner-friendly video lessons that explain everything clearly—camera basics, exposure, light, film stocks, labs, scanning, and more.

• Step-by-step exercises to help you build confidence without overwhelm.

• Camera guides + cheat sheets to keep by your side when you shoot.

• Community space (optional) to share your images, ask questions, and connect with other film-curious creatives.

You’ll Walk Away With:

• A deep understanding of how film works—without the overwhelm.

• Finally knowing how to get bright film images consistently. 

• Photos you’re proud of (and surprised by).

• A ritual that helps you slow down and see the world differently.

• Creative confidence that flows into other areas of your life.

What Makes This Course Different

Most film courses assume you already know the basics.

Or they throw too much at you, too fast.

Or worse… they skip over the why—and you’re left trying to follow settings without understanding how to see.

This course is different.

Here’s how:

It’s about more than just settings.

Yes, you’ll learn exposure, light, metering, and scanning.

But you’ll also learn how to slow down, see differently, and create images that feel like you—not just images that follow the rules.

It was built to answer the questions other courses skip.

How do you scan your own film?
Which labs are best?
What do you do when your photos come out wrong?
What camera should you actually start with?

And clearly explained video tutorials showing exactly how to use a light meter to set your settings every time you shoot. In all different kinds of light. So you can get bright beautiful film photos every single time. 

This course doesn't just teach theory. It's designed to give you the practical tools you need to actually shoot—and feel good doing it.
