Introduction to the Darkroom
With Salvador Alsina
3 and 11 october · Fàbrica Cal Garbat
If you would like to take your first steps in analog photography, have always been curious about how the process works, or want to refresh your knowledge, we have prepared a workshop for you. And if you prefer to get straight to the point without wasting time, this is the perfect option, as we will cover the entire process in a single day.
We will begin with a little theory: understanding how the image is captured, how the negative is developed and, finally, how the image is printed onto photographic paper. And, of course, you will be able to take home the prints you make.
