Analog Photography

This course will build off the material covered in Photography I, introducing students to the process of light sensitive materials, black and white film photography. Working with 35mm film cameras students will learn black and white darkroom procedures, an introduction to alternative techniques such as multiple printing, image collage and an introduction to a hybrid analog-digital workflow.

Light sensitive material

Photography exists because light can change material in a way that can be seen.

Starting with simple photograms and pinhole cameras we will discover the way light can be used to capture the world around us.

We use the darkroom to learn the chemistry behind developing and fixing images.

Cameras - boxes that capture light.

Starting out with simple box cameras we move up to 35mm cameras to do the bulk of work.
Later we introduce medium format (120) cameras and learn the benefits and challenges of larger film.

Focal lengths, and exposure meters are covered.
