In this practice-oriented course we will learn the basics of analog black & white photography: We will work in single sessions or, if you’d like to come with friends or family, in a small group (2-3 persons) to enable full attention to your individual needs. This course includes: |
| MEETINGS 1-2: BASIC CAMERA THEORY AND ITS APPLICATION In our first meetings you will learn about the features of a camera and how to influence the exposure. In addition, we will talk about your photographic interests and discuss the aspects relevant for your exploration of photography. You will receive 1-2 rolls of film from me to photograph until the third meeting. |
| MEETING 3: DEVELOPING FILMS Bring the exposed films with you to this meeting. In this meeting you will get to know the developing process step by step. You will practice loading the film into the developing spirals – and then develop your film. Afterwards we will assess the exposures and the development. |
| MEETING 4: INTRODUCTION TO THE DARKROOM & CREATION OF A CONTACT SHEET In the third meeting you will get to know the printing process in the darkroom as well as the enlarger. You will create a contact sheet from your developed film, which we will discuss in depth. |
| MEETINGS 5-8: PRINTING PHOTOS In these meetings we will focus on printing selected photos from your film. You will learn what makes a good print, consider the choice of contrast levels, image cropping and composition, as well as learn and apply the techniques of dodging and burning. This will be accompanied by discussions and assessments of the different steps up until the final prints. We will also experiment with photograms. |
