B&W Floral Still Life Fine Art Photography With Large Format
VIDEO WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
I take photographers behind the scenes and walk them through my step-by-step process of how I create beautiful floral still life fine art prints in the darkroom. I use a 4x5 view camera, Ilford HP5+ sheet film, and I develop in Kodak D-76 developer.
Get immediate access to the 68-page course training guide and 17 HD video lessons. You can watch the videos online or you can download them for offline viewing too.
I assume photographers already have a working knowledge of how to expose, develop, and make basic darkroom prints. If not, don't worry, take my Intro to B&W Darkroom Photography video workshop so that you are fully up to speed before jumping into this workshop. You can access that workshop at https://gumroad.com/l/bwdarkroom
I demonstrate and explain a variety of view camera movements common to floral still life photography. By having control over your focal plane and the ability to apply select focus, it gives you the creative license to express your vision unlike any other type of photography formats.
I discuss and demonstrate large format specifics that must be understood to create high-quality floral still life images.
