Camera Masterclass
The discipline
A two-day deep intensive on the camera itself: metering behaviour, autofocus architecture, colour science, file formats, and the menu system rebuilt around your actual work. The goal is not knowledge for its own sake but automaticity — a camera configured and understood so completely that it disappears from the process.
Bring your own body; the class is taught per-system in small brand groups.

Field notes
Program the three buttons you can reach blind. That's your real interface.
Learn what your meter believes about the world; then you can overrule it.
Raw is a negotiation you conduct later. Expose for it, not for the preview.
Questions, answered
Which camera systems are supported?
All the major current systems — groups are split by brand so the button-level teaching is exact for your hands.
Isn't this what the manual is for?
The manual lists what the camera can do; the masterclass decides what your camera will do, and why. Different documents.
I shoot film. Relevant?
There's a dedicated mechanical-camera stream on most dates — metering, film handling, and maintenance basics included.
