From simple hand-holdable Graflex Speed Graphics to full-size large format field cameras and monorails with camera movements, Kenneth will discuss what is possible with the large camera from camera movements and different lens choices, and how you can use your camera to work in a deliberate, methodical way to create photo projects and high-quality images.
