This critique-based workshop is for photographers who already develop black-and-white film and have access to a working darkroom. The class focuses on how exposure, development, and metering decisions affect the quality and flexibility of black-and-white negatives, and how those choices shape the final print.

The bottom line is, effective communication elevates your work.

In our first session of the course, we explain best practices for starting and maintaining successful
