Intro to Film Photography
A hands-on introduction to film photography using disposable cameras that teaches students to slow down, think before they shoot, and make every frame count.

Class Description
In this course, students explore the magic of film photography using disposable cameras, learning how to slow down and shoot with intention. We’ll look at a range of photography genres; portrait, documentary, fashion, sports, still life, and architecture, but through a film-first lens where every frame counts. Unlike phones, disposable cameras don’t offer endless retakes or instant previews. That limitation becomes the lesson: students practice thinking before they shoot, taking time to observe light, choose a frame, and make a deliberate decision before pressing the button. By the end, students will understand how film encourages patience, attention, and a stronger photographic “eye”—because you only get so many shots, and each one matters.

We believe that independent teaching artists and coaches deserve a platform that helps make their professional dreams a reality. The Togetherhood platform has been built to serve passionate, entrepreneurial enrichment providers who have started or aspire to start their own business. We seek teaching artists and coaches that are passionate about their craft, about working with children and about sharing the values their craft has taught them with the children in their classes. The Togetherhood platform empowers them to run their own business by removing the major obstacles to starting a business and building a customer base. It handles all of the business management so that the enrichment provider has the time and energy to focus on their passion: creating great programming for children. We work closely with each provider to ensure that their courses are experiences that stick with a child for a lifetime, rather than classes that occupy a child’s afternoon.
