A COURSE CREATED TO TAKE YOU THROUGH ALL THE INS AND OUTS OF SHOOTING, DEVELOPING, AND SCANNING YOUR FILM
Maybe you're new to film photography altogether. Or maybe you've been dabbling with film cameras for the past 5 years but always send your negatives to be handled by a lab, leaving out a huge part of the creative process.
In both instances, I made this course for you.
Capturing life on analog is such a different experience already; it's risky. It's a step into the unknown. It's unpredictable. But it's so worth it. I truly believe that if you're going to shoot film, you should be involved in every part of the process so that you can truly master the craft and retain as much creative control as possible. I made this course to empower everyone (regardless of where they are on their current film journey), to take those two steps further and immerse yourself into this art world fully. It changes the way you look at your own art, and leaves you wondering why you would ever consider anything different.
Film Transforms the Way You Photograph Life.
POINT THE CAMERA. HOLD YOUR BREATH. TAKE IN THE MOMENT UNFOLDING BEFORE YOU. SEE THE SHOT. FIRE.
My love of photography began when I was 8 years old. I studied my early years of life by looking through a viewfinder and carried a camera around with me like it was a part of my own body. I always dabbled with different types of equipment, but it wasn't until my later teens that I truly found my love for this art form.
When I turned 16, I spent 2 years working in a darkroom and learned every in and out there was to know about film. It pushed my creative limits to a new height, and gave me a new perspective on what it meant to truly capture a moment and freeze it in time. It was so real, so tangible, to see a flicker of a moment captured on such an intricate and delicate medium. My love of film has never diminished over the years. Today, most of my work is shot on various analog mediums, and anything digital that I photograph is yet persuaded by the other.
It is now my passion to teach other photographers how to dive deep into their craft and truly become immersed in every part of the process. My images are not complete by my composition and metering choices. It is a slow and thoughtful process between photographing my subject, carefully working with film chemistry to bring my negatives to life, and many choices in the scanning and editing process that finally make one frame into an image worth preserving.

"As someone who has been skeptical of film, and reluctant to master something that seems so overwhelming, Kayleigh has truly re-opened the itch of wanting to shoot film again. FINALLY I have a course that I can fully immerse myself into, reference when I have alllll the film questions (instead of boring and confusing YouTube videos), and inspire me to pick up my film camera instead of digital. This course is truly a one-stop-shop to learning film inside and out from one of the industry's greatest film photographers. You get to see all the film camera type/style breakdowns, full film-only shoots in the field with Kayleigh, how to price film for client work, and truly everything in between. I'm blown away by all that this course covers, and thank you Kayleigh for inspiring me to pick up my film cameras again!!"
"The Art of Analog is such a comprehensive, well thought out course. Kayleigh takes you from the basics of selecting a film camera and film stock, shooting film, and then the development and scanning process. She even includes information about marketing film. The way Kayleigh explains each step of the process is so easy to understand. I especially loved the section about scanning your film. Kayleigh shows you multiple methods of scanning and exactly how she does it from start to finish. I would highly recommend this course for self driven creatives looking to integrate film into their offerings, and who are wanting to learn how to develop and scan at home."
Film photography demands a deliberate and thoughtful approach, fostering a connection between me and my subject that is intimate and profound. The unpredictability of film adds a touch of magic to every frame. Join me on this analog journey as we explore the beauty of imperfection and the artistry inherent in every roll of film.
