Class Description

Description

This all-day intensive workshop will combine shooting, processing, developing and printing into one action-packed day.

First we’ll meet at the Darkroom and we'll demonstrate how to properly load film and set up your camera. You'll get a refresher on shooting mechanics and using your light meter, then we'll each shoot a roll of film in the surrounding neighborhood. From there you’ll learn how to process the exposed film using a film reel and developing tank, and start making contact prints. Finally, we’ll be enlarging negatives onto traditional darkroom paper, so that you can take home beautiful 8x10 prints that you’ve made entirely on your own.

Who should take this class

Intermediate and experienced digital shooters who want to try shooting film. Anyone interested in the overall process of analog film capture, processing and printing in a classic darkroom setting.

Prerequisites

If you've never taken photos in manual mode, we highly recommend taking 1 Day Workout: Camera Warm-Up! or Digital Photo I, or at the very least Crash Course: Camera Basics, prior to taking this class.

What to bring

Bring your film-based 35mm SLR, medium format or rangefinder camera and a roll of black and white film that fits your camera.

We do have a limited number of cameras available for rental at $15 per class, and a limited amount of 35mm black and white film available for $10 per roll.

Since this is an all-day class we will have a lunch break, so you might want to bring lunch. There are restaurants and cafes nearby as well.

Please bring your mask.

Materials provided (included in cost of the class)

  • All resin-coated photographic paper
  • All development chemistry
  • Optional camera rental and black and white film purchase available

    Very good overall
  • The Analog Film Lab

    Max was super patient and attentive to each students needs, including my own. I came in not even knowing what ISO was. Max wasn’t supposed to come outside with us for the shooting portion but he popped out to help me with my first shot and was really patient in doing so. The class was so informative, fun, and rewarding. I met some really awesome new friends as well. I am definitely booking another class to further expand my film/photography skills. Highly suggest. This class was a surprise birthday present from my husband and it was probably the best present he’s ever given me.

    Great experience Excellent training
  • The Analog Film Lab

    Generally this is a great course. You have a chance to put your hands on the whole B&W darkroom process, which is a great experience. However, the class is too short. I wished I had more time to practice and make more prints, but that would make it a two day class then.
