In this workshop, you will discover the beauty and nostalgia of analogue photography as you learn how to load and shoot with a film camera. Whether you bring your own camera or borrow one from Little Vintage Photography, you will have the opportunity to capture stunning black and white images during a guided photowalk.
Don't worry if you're new to film photography – this workshop is designed for beginners and our experienced instructor will guide you every step of the way. We understand that the thought of developing your own film might seem daunting, but fear not! We will teach you how to mix your own black and white chemistry and process your film by hand.

  • Learn about the history of analogue photography.
  • Learn how to load a film camera (bring your own or borrow one from Little Vintage Photography).
  • Shoot a roll of black and white film during a guided photowalk.

  • Learn how to use a darkbag to load a daylight tank.
  • Process your own roll(s) of film by hand.
  • Dry, view, cut and scan/digitise your negatives.

Hello! I’m Rachel and I run Little Vintage Photography which is based in Liverpool, North West UK but which I take all over the world.
I am also the official Darkroom Educator for ILFORD Photo, the world-leading B&W film manufacturer.
I set up my creative business to capture the unique, imperfect and beautiful moments of life using traditional photographic processes, and in order to help others learn to do the same!
I specialise in analogue photographic techniques, capture stories on film, print by hand in the darkroom and run creative and educational workshops for anyone curious to learn about alternative ways of making images in more mindful ways through magical, crafts-based processes which combine science, art and heritage.
