Black & White Analog Photography In-Depth Course

In this course we will learn the possibilities of the wonderful art of black and white analog photography from the basics and into its depths. Alongside the acquisition of skill, we will experience it both in its exciting nature and as a mindful practice.

We will work in single sessions or, if you’d like to come with a friend or family member, in a small group of 2 persons to enable full attention to your individual needs.

The course is divided into three modules of content. The Basic Skills module is necessary in order to proceed with the later modules. The content of the later modules will be mixed and adjusted according to your individual interests.

If you have completed the Basic Course Analog Essentials, the Basic Skills module can be skipped and you can continue with the more advanced content. If you have prior knowledge and experience in darkroom work, contact me and we will find a structure that suits your learning wishes.
