Large format cameras give photographers so many tools to control: focus, depth of field, shape, size, and perspective, that's it hard to tell where to start. This video is a primer for anybody curious about large format camera movements. Together we'll discover the movements that take place on the front and rear standards of the camera, see them applied on the camera, and see the resulting image projected onto the ground glass. There's even a few example pictures with their setups and movements detailed.
