Darkroom Photography (Ages 15 – 18)
Youth Summer Camp | Available
Using 35mm film camera, learn the fundamentals of black and white photography. Take field trips and use the darkroom to print your own photographs. Lessons include camera operation, composition, lighting, subject matter and other principles. If time allows, we may also experiment with pinhole photography by making our own cameras out of recycled materials. Bring your own manual, 35mm camera to class or borrow one of ours.
Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
This class counts as a core or special topics class in our Teen Certificate Program.
