The world of medium format film photography is one that brings with it a lot of unique benefits, from camera options to image quality, and is something that I think every film photographer should at least experiment with once.

But regardless of whether you've worked with 35mm film or not, there's a lot to learn with this larger format, with various frame size options, and a long list of unique camera styles and models to choose from. That's why I decided to put together this course to quickly and easily introduce you to the world of medium format film photography, and provide you with the necessary knowledge so that you can shoot your first roll of 120 film.

Shoot Your First Roll Of Medium Format Film

We'll start from scratch, beginning with:

The Benefits Of Medium Format— including why it gives you more flexibility, better image quality, and unique camera options
Film & Frame Sizes— including what 120 film is, how it works, the different frame sizes you can shoot, and which one may suit you best
The Different Camera Styles— including the pros and cons of each, how they differ, and which ones are unique to medium format
My Recommendations— including camera options for each style, as well as some cheaper versions if you just want to dip your toes in the water
In-Field Sessions— we'll jump into the field with the three different camera styles, and shoot a roll of film in each, showing you how to load them, how they operate, and some of their unique traits
Scanning & Flexibility— including the benefits of scanning medium format at home, and a comparison between different scanner options

I look forward to introducing you to the world of medium format film photography, and can't wait to see your results!
