The professional development and printing course
The black & white darkroom course course is aimed at creating laboratory professionals able to correctly develop and print, by using the best techniques and a proper chemical knowledge.
B/W photography is an alternative to color photography, both from a technical and an expressive point of view.
Printing in black and white offers almost the same creative opportunities as those present during a shooting.
Program
During the black & white darkroom course students develop and print a great variety of shots that will become part of their portfolio.
Students will be given a certificate of attendance with an evaluation based on their performance.
