This is a course in creating expressive and meaningful photographs! Students will become proficient using film cameras, while exploring basic and unique techniques for image printing in the darkroom. The course is focused on black-and-white traditional photography, an energizing balance of taking the photographs and then personally developing enlarged images in the studio. Students will need their own 35mm manual film camera as basic equipment for the course. There are some school cameras available to loan out. Students also need to plan on purchasing film and photographic paper as needed throughout the semester (approximately $95 total). Please see instructor if assistance is needed with these costs.
