Darkroom Photography
Youth Summer Camp | Registration opens 1/22/2025 9:00 AM EST
Learn the fundamentals of black and white photography. We'll take photo field trips and use the darkroom to print our photographs. Ages 9 – 11 will use pinhole cameras and learn to create photograms. For ages 12 – 14, lessons include camera operation, composition, lighting, subject matter, and other principles. Ages 12 – 14 may bring their own manual, 35mm camera to class, or borrow one of ours. Students must also have permission to go on walking field trips around the neighborhood.
