THE WORKSHOP
This workshop is a strong and necessary grounds for all digital photographers who would like to take this craft seriously. It is also meant to be an experience for those who have never developed images themselves,
The Workshop will enable participants to understand the basics of black and white photography using classical 35mm film cameras. This is a practical workshop designed for a limited number of people and has the goal of teaching how to gain control over light and be able to photograph manually without relying on camera programs. Professional photographer Stefano Levi will lead you through all the steps of creating Black and White prints from 35mm negatives. After the theory, we will set off for a day in Hamburg to apply the teachings of great photographers like Ansel Adams. We will be working in different light situations.
In the evening of the first day, we will develop the films, make contact prints and select the image that each participant will enlarge in the dark room. On the second day, we will spend time in the darkroom, and each participant will have the chance of making his own Black and White print using professional darkroom equipment.
The last part of the second day will be used for wrapping-up all we have experienced and will be open for any kind of questions.
