Introduction to Analogue Black and White Photography
Wednesdays 5.30 – 7.00p.m.September 17th – 26th November
Run by an experienced photographer, this ten-week workshop course provides an opportunity to learn about SLR photography at a theoretical and practical level. The course is aimed at beginners and people who would like to update existing knowledge.
A hands-on approach is used in a working studio environment. Students learn how to operate a camera, become familiar with the key terms and concepts in manual photography. They also learn how to use the darkroom to process and develop their negatives. They will then learn the theory and practice of making silver gelatine prints on both resin coated and fibre based paper.
Students are encouraged to visit exhibitions during their time on the course, to do their own research and share their developing knowledge within the class. This isn’t essential but will reinforce learning while on the course.
Darkroom chemicals and equipment are provided . Students must bring own analogue camera. There are two cameras for hire for those who do not have access to a camera.
All materials apart from film are provided. Additional cost for use of community darkroom.
The course is run in the artists’ studio and has limited places so early booking is advisable. All welcome . Suitable for adults aged 16 and above.
