In Color We Trust
With Miquel Navarro
10 octubre · Fábrica cal Garbat
Have you always wanted to discover how colour film developing and printing work? This workshop is designed to offer you a complete experience, from taking the photograph to developing the film and, finally, making the print.
What will we do?
- Part 1: Self-portraits with a Cambo camera. Each participant will have the opportunity to take their own self-portrait in 6×7 format. Film: Kodak Portra.
- Part 2: Colour film developing. We will develop the film containing the self-portraits using Vintage Visual’s AGO processor. Chemistry: ADOX C-TEC 41.
- Part 3: Printing the self-portrait. We will enlarge the self-portraits, finding the right density and correcting the colours. At the end, you will take home a 20×25 print.
