Photography II in Black-and-White: Tools for Darkroom Printing

In this intermediate black-and-white class, students will expand upon their analog photography knowledge by fine-tuning their darkroom printing skills, as well as learning how to manipulate images in the darkroom, the original photo editing tool. Students will use existing film (as there will be no film processing in class) to improve their printing skills with a myriad of darkroom techniques, both practical and experimental: from contrast filters and burning/dodging to sandwiching negatives and toning. Join us for this deep dive into darkroom printing and experimentation
