This workshop will introduce participants to 4x5 and 8x10 field cameras, and to shooting paper negatives. We’ll be using darkroom paper as negatives instead of film, and tray processing them onsite. Paper negatives can be digitized to obtain a positive image, or contact printed in the darkroom. We will shoot portraits or objects in the studio, depending on weather shooting outside may also be an option.
The operation of several cameras will be covered, plus the basics of tray processing silver gelatin (black & white) paper. It is helpful if participants already understand how shutter speed, ISO and aperture work together to control exposure (sometimes called The Exposure Triangle), but this is not mandatory. It is optional to bring props or costumes for portraits, or interesting objects if you prefer to shoot still life. Participants will leave with a minimum of two paper negatives.
