12 Hour Photo: Color Darkroom Marathon (one-day workshop)

Adult Workshop | Available

Did you ever wish you’d learned to develop and print color film and photographs in the darkroom, but just never had the time? Are you experienced with color darkroom photography, but looking for a new challenge? Join Fleisher faculty Ahmed Salvador for this workshop. There are no prerequisites for this offering, which is open to students at all levels.

Beginners will learn all the basic skills including:
1. How to operate your 35mm camera settings for greater control
2. How to develop color film, and how to print from negatives
3. How to print and manipulate color images in the darkroom

Students with more experience will work alongside the instructor to finesse their color prints with knowledge of printing techniques such as dodging and burning, using contrast filters, etc.

Note that this classroom is accessible by stairs only; please contact Fleisher for more information.

  • If you are a new to darkroom photography, please bring:
    • Any camera that uses 35mm film
    • A roll of C-41 color film
    • 3 ring binder notebook for storing negatives and prints

    If you have prior experience, please bring:
    • As many negatives to print from as you'd like
    • A stash of Fujicolor RA-4 photo paper
