You’re not bad at film photography—your meter’s just not telling the whole story.

You load a fresh roll. You try to meter carefully. You shoot in that dreamy window light. But when the scans come back? They’re underexposed. Flat. Lifeless. Not what you imagined.

Maybe you blame yourself.

Maybe you blame your lab.

Maybe you start to wonder if shooting film indoors just isn’t for you.

You’re not alone.

Most photographers were never actually taught how to use a handheld meter—especially indoors where the light changes fast and exposure needs to be exact.

Ready to stop second-guessing and learn a method that actually works?

When you try to figure it out alone, things usually get worse.

Most photographers try to DIY their way to better exposures—but end up more confused, frustrated, and out of film.

1.

You rely on YouTube or free advice…

But everyone’s doing it differently. No one explains why their method works—and your results still feel hit or miss.

2.

You use your handheld meter—but don’t totally trust it.

You’re not sure where to point it, when to meter, or what the reading actually means. And so… you guess.

3.

You waste rolls of film hoping your lab will save it.

The scans come back dark, flat, or muddy—and you start to wonder if shooting film indoors just isn’t worth it.

I know THE SECRET

This Isn’t the Way Most People Learn to Meter—And That’s the Point

When I lived in Georgia, I took an 8-week black and white darkroom class at the Spruill Arts Center—taught by Ann Clancy, a photographer trained by Ansel Adams

(Yes. That Ansel Adams.)


We didn’t even take photos in the class. Instead, she taught us something no tutorial ever had:

We studied how to make a good negative

One that holds detail and gives you options when printing. Not overexposed. Not blown out. Just intentional.


Years later, when I started shooting film indoors and hearing all the conflicting advice online, I realized something:

I had learned to meter differently—starting with the final image I wanted, not just the light in the room. That insight became the foundation of my method.

THIS IS WHERE THE IMAGE METERING METHOD WAS BORN.

Imagine what life will be like when you too have the success they have? 👇

When you learn how to meter with intention—not just by the numbers—you unlock a whole new level of confidence.


No more wasting film.

No more second-guessing your settings.

No more praying your lab can save it.


This is how film photography becomes joyful again—especially indoors.
