You don’t need to know your ISO from your elbow to get started – you just need curiosity and a roll of film. The rest? We’ll teach you.

At Loop, our film photography classes are made for beginners, the photo-curious, and anyone ready to slow down and make something real. No gatekeeping, no gear snobbery, just hands-on learning, good vibes, and a whole lot of “holy shit, I made that.”

So if you’ve been putting it off, waiting for the right time – this is it.

Book the lesson. Let’s shoot some film.

Come learn the magic.

Learn to make darkroom prints

So you’ve got your negatives – now what?

We’ll show you how to make real B&W prints using traditional darkroom techniques. 


You’ll learn the basics of contrast, exposure, and how to print with intention. It’s meditative, messy (in the best way), and seriously satisfying.

If you’ve ever wanted to make your own prints – this is where it begins.

Film photography - the shoot to print course

Start to finish, this is the full ride.

You’ll shoot a roll of black & white film, develop it by hand, and print your favourite image in the darkroom.

No prior experience needed – we’ll guide you through every step of shooting film

It’s the way it’s meant to be: slow, tactile, and wildly rewarding.
By the end, you’ll walk out with a print you made yourself

Why Shoot Film?

Because slowing down is a super power

In a world of instant everything, film teaches you to pause, notice, and really see.

Our film photography classes at Loop get you hands-on with the good stuff – loading film, metering light, developing then printing in the darkroom. Whether you’re brand new or brushing off the dust, we’ll help you fall in love with the process.
