Photo Printing with Sunlight: Alternative Processes
Adult Multi-Week | Available
Before the invention of film and enlargers, photographers would make images and prints with sunlight. In this workshop, students will learn two alternative-process photographic techniques that allow you to produce photographic prints outside of the darkroom-- lumen printing, anthotypes and cyanotypes. Each image made is one of a kind, handmade and vividly colored. Students will learn how to enhance printing options and make digital negative files.
