- Analog & Alchemy: Darkroom Photography

Catalog description

Intermediate level photography course for students interested in learning how to use film cameras (both 35 mm and medium format) including shooting, developing and printing black and white film in the wet darkroom. This is a studio art course that focuses on techniques of early photography that are tied to a material process using film and darkroom processing. When you leave the course you will understand; analog cameras, film development, darkroom printing, scanning negatives and printing digitally from negatives. You will have been asked to respond to readings that will give you a deeper understanding of the historical and contemporary implications of the medium. You will have made work in response to assignments using your voice, as expressed through photography. You will have been asked to see slowly -- and then observed what it is that you have seen.
