The Tortoise Method - Education
A slower way to learn photography.
The Tortoise Method is focused on thoughtful, intentional photography. Inspired by the quiet pace of film photography, these workshops encourage you to slow down, observe light carefully, and compose images with purpose.
Whether you're learning film for the first time or simply want to understand your camera better, these sessions focus on patience, curiosity, and learning to truly see the world around you.
Workshops include film photography classes, photography fundamentals, guided photo walks, and private mentorship - Starting at $200.
Slowing down is not a trend, it’s a way of life, it’s the way of the tortoise.
