"The film fundamentals course was so wonderful. It was a fantastic starting point to help me dive into film a bit more.

I have been just playing around with it personally but it was so helpful to have a step by step guide from start to finish. The course was so beautifully put together and was easy to digest. I love that I can also go back and refresh on certain topics."

"As a lover of film photography and the way it captures life’s treasured moments, I knew that Trent & Jessie’s Film Fundamentals course would give me the reassurance on how to story tell through film.

Not just how to photograph well but to slow down and be intentional with my camera as an art form."

FAQs

I want to start shooting film at weddings, will this course be helpful?

For sure! We would highly recommend learning some film fundamentals before being paid to shoot film at a wedding.

You don't get any re-do's with weddings, so why risk unpredictable results if you're unsure how to properly shoot film.

In the course we'll show you how you can reliably shoot film images that your couple will love.

Do I need a film camera?

Having a 35mm camera already would be beneficial as you can follow along and practice with your own camera, but we also provide recommendations for film cameras to buy, so you could learn the basics then buy a camera and have the course to refer to.

How much experience do I need?

Some understanding of photography will be helpful (e.g. ISO, shutter speed and aperture), however you don't need any experience shooting film.

I have a point and shoot camera, will this course help me?

Point and shoot cameras are a great way to get started in film photography, however in this course we focus on cameras that have manual controls like shutter speed and aperture.

How long will I have access to the course?

You will have access for the lifetime of the course, for as long as we continue to run the Film Fundamentals course, guaranteed access for a minimum of 24 months from enrolment.
