This new class will take a deeper dive into the traditional darkroom techniques and also delve into more alternative processes. It will be tailored toward each student’s specific skill level and objectives. Students in this class must have the ability to work in the darkroom without assistance, but the instructor will work with each student to help them advance their own darkroom knowledge and experience.

Topics in this class can include (but are not limited to):

• B&W film choices; speed and grain differences
• B&W film alternative processing methods like Push/Pull, Cold, Stand, and Reversal development
• Available darkroom papers and the difference between them
• Darkroom filters for contrast and Split Filter printing
• Image selection and editing for individual photo projects
• Advanced dodging, burning, and masking
• Using colored toners on different papers
• Preparing a group of images for exhibition
