I love this Super 8 film which highlights our last workshop here in Birmingham. Viewing it reminds of the imagination and curiosity that is sparked when a group of photographers get together with pockets full of film and an arsenal of film cameras at their disposal. The sense of wonder amongst the group is contagious. It is this feeling that I return to when people want to debate film vs. digital. All I know is that I feel like a giddy school boy when I have a film camera in my hands. And the results continue to make my heart beat a little faster. Until digital does the same for me, I’m sticking with film!
Below are some images that our incredible group of extremely professional photographers captured.
Special thanks to:
Kodak for providing the film
Richard Photo Lab for the film processing

We just wrapped our workshop this week and we had such an incredible group of photographers who joined us. The first day we photographed each other around my studio, and they all had access to any of our analog cameras. We started on the roof of our building and rain forced us to set up some strobes in the lobby. Below are a few of my favorite shots from the photographers. All of the film shot was provided by Kodak and all the scanning was done courtesy of Richard Photo Lab who got us these images the following day!

On day two of the workshop we spent time photographing some model couples. I can’t wait to receive and post what we got.

We are so excited to announce our next workshop which will take place in Birmingham this November!
Here’s a few things of note that will make this event unique and remarkable:
The A Bryan Photo Process. My team and I will be sharing insights into our entire process. We will be discussing the creation of timeless imagery on film & how to present photographs to your clients that will make a lasting impression. We will also discuss the importance of a well run studio and how you can wow your clients through the details.
Guest Speakers. We have always prided ourselves on the guest speakers who we get to speak at our workshops. This year is no different. Craig Johnson of Matchstic will be presenting on the power of branding and Calder Clark of Blue Moon Events will present on the relationship between photographer and event planner. These two are both so smart and insightful. You won’t want to miss what they have to say about you and your industry
The Sponsors. Kodak will be donating a large amount of film for all who attend to shoot with and take home. Richard Photo Lab will be here to walk photographers through the ins and outs of their incredible lab. Even if you aren’t a film shooter, it will be a great time to get familiar with the medium of film in a safe and constructive environment. Cypress Albums will be available to discuss the power of presentation through the use of their handmade products.
The Shooting (and Critique). For the first time ever at an A Bryan Photo workshop we are going to be able to shoot film and have scans available the following day for critique and review from me and my team. This will allow attendees to quickly learn from the first day of shooting and make corrections before the next film shoot! We will also allow photographers to make final prints on our Epson 3880.
Three Days! This is the first workshop with three full days of shooting and education. All others have only been two days. With more emphasis on shooting time, we wanted to add an extra day so that we could still have plenty of time for education.
