You may refer to it simply as Black and White photography, gelatin-silver emerged as the de facto standard for photograph before color processes began to dominate. If you ever worked in a family darkroom or were exposed to it in high school, this is the b&w process you would have used. With a wide range of commercially available films and darkroom papers, gelatin-silver is the ideal process to master before delving into the hand-coated mix-your-own-chemistry challenges of non-silver.
In this full-day workshop you will learn to make Contact Sheets and Enlargements from your gelatin-silver negatives. Topics covered include: Setting up the darkroom, using the enlarger, setting up the easel, making and evaluating test strips, use of multigrade papers, proper method for processing/washing/drying fiber-based paper in an archival manner.
Materials included.
This workshop will run from 10:00am to 5:00pm with a 1 hour lunch break.
