About the Workshop

This workshop is for students who want to develop a personal vision. Photographers with
knowledge of their working 35mm film camera and are interested in returning to the joy of film,
that is, film development and printing in the wet darkroom, will be able to do so in this structured
workshop. We will look at different styles of work that might lead to new ways of seeing. Spend time photographing and then develop and print in the darkroom. Your work prints will be used for daily feedback. For those more advanced, with a specific short-term project in mind you too will have daily feedback. (Students supply their own film and photographic paper beyond an initial allotment.)
