Photographic Darkroom

Service Description

Join us in the fully equipped darkroom at Assembly Arts for a 5 week evening course learning how to process and print black and white 35mm film whilst discovering the creative aspects of aperture and shutter speed. No previous experience is necessary as you will be guided through all aspects of camera control and developing and printing. After taking pictures on a 35mm manual single lens reflex camera you will process the film and print from the black and white negatives you have created. You may use your own 35mm single lens reflex camera if you have one or you may borrow one from us at no extra cost! This course is the perfect introduction to analogue black and white photography whilst also an excellent refresher if you may have done some in the past. The main emphasis of the course is to learn how to use camera controls to take take better photos whilst also learning that printing black and white photographs is very much a creative art form in its own right. Be warned! Its great fun and very addictive and is the perfect activity to slow down and be creative!
