Black and White Film Photography Workshop: Shooting and Developing

3111 Canton Street,Dallas TX 75226

22 May, 2021

Description

Learn about film photography with film and developing included. Film is to photography as wind is to sailing. Digital photography is the power speedboat that gets you there quickly, but film photography is the sailboat slowly allowing you to feel the waves and see the light glimmering on the ocean. Slow down and get back to the pure basics of what is a direct interaction of light on silver halide crystals. From this science, you get photographic art. Join DFW professional photographer, artist, and educator Edgar Miller of Edgar Miller Images for a two-hour workshop at Photographique photo lab in the heart of Deep Ellum- Dallas. Starting with the basics, you will go over film choices and exposure settings. After making sure your roll of film has been loaded correctly, you will go on a photo walk in the surrounding Deep Ellum area to shoot the included black & white roll of film. We will return to the lab to get your first roll developed while we conclude the class. Bring your 35mm or 120/220 film camera (double-check that it works) as Edgar helps you develop the aesthetic of black & white film photography. There will be a demo on how to hand process the film during which the rolls taken by the group will be machine processed. You will leave with a developed roll of film and options to print or scan the negatives. This introduction to black and white film photography is hopefully the primer you need to slow down your pursuit of images and enjoy the light! You will be supplied with two rolls of black & white film and the developing of the roll of film shot during the class. Please contact Edgar with any questions.
