This is a fun activity in Edinburgh
You'll discover the captivating world of film photography and learn the step-by-step process of shooting, developing, and printing your own photographs. No prior experience is necessary, so don't worry if you've never touched a film camera before!
In this class, you'll begin by learning the basics of operating a film camera, understanding exposure settings, and composing your shots. You'll then dive into the magical world of the darkroom, where you'll develop your own film negatives and see your images come to life. Finally, you'll explore the art of printmaking, where you will learn how to make stunning prints from your negatives using traditional darkroom techniques.
Throughout the class, you'll be working with film cameras and professional-grade darkroom equipment, providing you with an authentic experience of the analogue photography process. Don't be surprised if you find yourself feeling a sense of wonder and excitement as you witness your images appearing on paper, right before your eyes.
By the end of this workshop, you'll have a collection of beautifully printed photographs to take home and showcase, along with newfound skills and a deeper appreciation for the art of film photography. Get ready to unlock your creativity and immerse yourself in this enriching activity.
This workshop involves the use of photographic chemicals such as developer and fixer in small quantities. They are safe when used correctly and under supervision, but participants with very sensitive skin, allergies, asthma, or chemical sensitivities should be aware.
Please wear comfortable clothes and avoid your best outfit, as photographic chemicals may occasionally cause small stains. All materials will be provided during the workshop.
