Traditional Black & White Photography Workshop    Monday – Friday, 10 am – 2pm 
This comprehensive one-week workshop will cover the basics of traditional black and white photography using a 35mm film camera.  Students will learn how to use an analog camera (with time to practice your technique on location in Piermont) as well as how to develop and print B&W film in our studio darkroom.

 - how to use an analog camera: understand aperture (f-stop), shutter speeds, take meter readings, focus and composition, etc. - how to develop film in our state of the art darkroom
-how to enlarge and print your negatives.
