Learn to take photographs using 35mm film, process the film, and print photographs in a darkroom. The instructor will provide technical guidance and aesthetic feedback. This class is good for beginners but is also perfect for returning students who are already comfortable in the darkroom and want to expand their portfolio and skill set. Chemicals and processing equipment are provided. Students are encouraged to bring their own camera; paper and film will need to be purchased by the student.

  • Materials List
  • All required and recommended materials will be discussed on the first day of class. The only thing you must bring with you on the first day is your 35mm camera with full manual capabilities. I recommend waiting to order the remaining mandatory supplies until I go through the materials list on the first day; I will provide examples. Additionally, some students choose to split materials that require ordering in semi-bulk to save money; i.e. photographic paper, plastic negative sleeves, etc. Supplies/Materials.
