“With this workshop, I could learn a lot about how everything started and how 100% of the digital Photoshop tools are based on the real and old dark rooms. Being able to develop my roll, make my own print, and using literally my hand and light to edit the photo was fantastic! Thank you so much Vegas Analog! I highly recommend!!”
