In this workshop we will discover the disappearing art of Traditional Color Darkroom Photography! You will develop 35mm or medium format negatives, and print enlargements in a darkroom using similar color chemistry to the ones used in your local Mom & Pop Foto-Mat. Do you want that funky 70-80's retro look in your 8x10 or 11x14 sized shots? Do you want a hands-on approach rather than pressing a button on your smartphone? You will master all of this in one term.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN IN THIS COURSE
1. How to develop color negative film using different chemistry.
2. How to enlarge, color correct, and print your own color photographs using traditional chemistry.
3. How to solarize a print in color! (a phenomenon in photography in which the image recorded on a photographic print is wholly or partially reversed in tone. Dark areas appear light or light areas appear dark.
