About this event formula:
Let’s amplify the TFP formula with a group event, giving you better results for your time!Following our joint group TFP blueprint, we will work in rotating groups, and all participants will have 1-to-1 time with every model.
Main focus - analog photography!
During this group TFP event, the main focus will be analog photography. Participants should bring at least 2-4 rolls (depending on the format) of their favorite films. You can also bring your digital cameras, but the focus should be on film.If you are a Discord community member, you will be granted free access to some of our available analog cameras. Due to the limited number of cameras, these will be available only via a priority dice roll, but there should be enough cameras available since most users should bring their cameras.

- Kiev-60 + 80/2.8 Volna
