Meeting And Pickup
Meeting point
My studio is on the main road as you come into Girvan. There is a great free car park at The Marine Fish Restaurant. Park here and head up the hill. You’ll see my shop on the opposite side of the road, close to Gelateria Italiana and Flyns Boatyard. The door will be open for you, so please come in.
End Point
This activity ends back at the meeting point.
What To Expect
Travellers are given an analogue camera for the day and access to facilities for film processing and contact sheet development.
Step 1: Before we get started on making beautiful photographs, a studio tour will let you get tactile with all of the things you’ll be using during the day.
Step 2: Girvan is the perfect location to escape from it all and you can choose from the sea or the forest or choose to do both. You and your favourite person in the world will have the chance to re-connect while you learn how to shoot with film to turn magical moments into beautiful memories.
Step 3: Processing your negatives is the only part of the experience where we need complete darkness and lasts only as long as it takes you to wind your film onto a spool and load the developing tank. After this, with the lights back on, you pour in your chemicals and wait with anticipation to see what you’ve made.
Step 4: Your negatives need some time to dry, so take this perfect moment to re-fuel and enjoy one another’s company.
Step 5: Expose your paper, submerge it in liquid and watch as your negatives come to life, where your moments become tangible, visible memories for you to look back on.
