Workshop: 24 Hours

From Camera to Print

Rediscovering analogue photography today can go far beyond nostalgia or a longing for what photography meant before digital cameras. Analogue photography opens up extraordinary visual possibilities, and its apparent limitations turn out to be an almost infinite range of new ones.

This customised workshop covers, more or less simultaneously, three basic strands of the analogue photography workflow: working with the camera, film development techniques, and black-and-white printing.

Workshop outline

  • Camera: a programme adapted to participants’ prior knowledge and learning goals, which may also be guided by simple creative exercises developed during the workshop. This topic runs through all the work done in the workshop.

  • Film development: exploration of different types of film and of conventional and/or alternative development methods and procedures. This module also runs throughout the workshop, and participants can develop their black-and-white rolls at any point.

  • Black-and-white printing: an introduction to the fundamental techniques of black-and-white printing, from making contact sheets to contrast control and localised adjustments, experimenting with different types of paper and other, more or less alternative, darkroom printing techniques.
