This workshop builds off of the Introduction to the 4x5 camera workshop. Participants will learn about the full camera movements associated with a large format camera. These include rise, fall, tilt, shift and the Scheimflug effect.
Participants will experiment using Polaroid Type 55 film to see immediate effects of the camera movements.
