ANALOG PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
slow down, feel the frame, shoot with intention.

You load the film. Hear the quiet click as you wind it forward.
You take your time — for the moment, for the image, for yourself.

In this workshop, we’ll step into the slower rhythm of analog photography — with calm, curiosity, and an open eye. No tech overwhelm. No pressure to be perfect. Whether you're holding a film camera for the very first time or have been dreaming of finally starting, you’re in the right place.

• ・ what to expect

  • How to use a film camera — from the very beginning
  
  • How to load film, focus by hand, and set the right exposure — explained calmly and clearly
  

  • What different film types look like, and how to choose the right one for your vibe
  

  • What happens after you take the photo — how film gets developed and scanned at a lab
  

  • Simple creative tasks to help you slow down, observe, and trust your intuition
  

  • A relaxed photo session with space to ask questions, try things out, and learn at your own pace

• ・ what to bring

  All you need to bring is your analog camera (35mm or medium format — if you don’t have one,
  just let us know : hello@the-daydream-studio.com) and a willingness to try something new. We’ll take care of the rest: inspiring photo tasks, clear step-by-step guidance, and honest feedback that helps you grow — no pressure, just joy.

  JENN AND THE CAMERA
  
  Jenn is a photographer known for her unique way of seeing — somewhere between digital clarity and analog depth. Her style is shaped by natural light, real expression, and a minimalist aesthetic that leaves space — for feeling, for story, for truth.

  What sets her work apart is her eye for what matters.
  Jenn has a way of seeing people as they are — without forced poses or surface-level gloss. Her images speak quietly, but they hold power.

  In 2020, Jenn was invited to become the first female Leica Ambassador in Austria — a recognition of her distinct visual language and deep photographic understanding. Her work blends craft with clarity, timelessness with emotion.

  Alongside commissioned projects, Jenn supports people and purpose-driven brands in becoming more visible — with substance. Always with the intention of making identity seen, not just making things look pretty.

  Since 2018, she’s been guiding others in finding their own visual voice — through workshops, mentoring, and creative education that goes far beyond the technical.
  Jenn teaches with clarity and calm, but also with a rare honesty: the kind of feedback that artists crave when they’re ready to grow. Clear. Grounded. Encouraging. The kind that moves you forward.

  Jenn stands for photography with purpose.
  Honest. Intentional. Real.
