Course Description

Introduction to the Darkroom is designed for newcomers to analogue photography who wish to learn basic darkroom techniques, including black & white film development, making contact sheets and printing with an enlarger. Previous darkroom experience is not necessary, and a basic understanding of exposure, although useful, is not essential.

You are also welcome to bring along any exposed B&W films (or negatives) of your own, whether 35mm, 120 or 5x4 format. You will to be able to process and print from them on the day if you choose - paper and chemicals are supplied - and you may take prints home with you.

Intro to the Darkroom is a practical, hands-on, one-day course delivered in a fully-equipped darkroom just minutes from our Shoreditch HQ.

    ‘I attended the Introduction to the Darkroom course with Bill Ling. He was a top boy! We had a good amount of time to experiment and the session didn't get caught up in chemical jargon. Practical. Engaging. A good intro.’
    ★★★★★  Team Kelham

    ‘I really enjoyed the course. It was a great way to learn about the process of developing. I think the tutor is a genius! This course for me was about understanding the developing process of black and white and for that knowledge to inform my thinking process behind the camera and enable me to take better pictures.’
    ★★★★  Daniel Willis
