In this four-week workshop, BDC founder and photojournalist Michael Kamber will instruct students in the basics of 35mm analog photography. Students will learn camera mechanics, develop their own film, and make silver gelatin prints in the BDC darkroom. This comprehensive course will take students from their first steps in analog photography to a working knowledge of developing and darkroom printing—skills that will serve as a foundation to their creative practice in film photography.

One roll of film and four sheets of 8x10 paper will be provided to each student—materials cost is included in the class fee. Additional film and paper may be purchased at the BDC.
