Explore the art of black and white film photography.
Learn how to operate a 35mm camera, develop film, and print black and white images in the darkroom. We will also learn to analyze our images with a focus on light, composition, and creating meaning. Class time will include demonstrations, critiques, and guided lab work.
More advanced students are welcome to join and continue working on independent projects.
The class also includes an optional Friday evening open darkroom practice session where students can work on and refine the techniques discussed in class.
Tuition for this class includes a fee of $20 for basic materials provided by CAW.
