With all of the steps involved, the process of large format photography can feel a little daunting. Here are my favorite three rules of thumb for working in large format. The Cliff notes are right here, but you'll want to check out the video for more info on all of them:

1. Front Standard Controls Focus, Rear Standard Controls Shape
2. Focus to the Far, Tilt/Swing to the Near
3. Expose for the Shadows, Develop for the Highlights
