DON ORKOSKEY

Join Don for 2 private crash-courses in photography! You'll get to choose the setting (nature, street, portraits, etc), and by the end you'll have created a fun photo project at the end that they can share with their friends, family, and the wider world. The lessons can take place in my studio in Swissvale, in your home, in the woods, wherever is the most appropriate venue for the types of photos you want to create. You can use your own camera(s) or borrow one from me for the length of the project.

Alternatively, we can engage in large format film photography. I'll teach you how to take large format photos (4" x 5" pieces of film) on a vintage monorail film camera and then develop the film together - for this the types of photography would be limited to either (in studio) portraits or still life OR (outdoor) landscapes or portraits.

Duration: 3-4 hours

Accommodates: 1-2 people

Location: Don's studio in Swissvale, or TBD
