Black and White Photography: Darkroom for Beginners

Learn how to process your black and white film, make contact sheets and explore black and white printing. 

Bring an exposed 35mm Ilford FP4 or HP5 film with you and our expert tutor will teach you all the stages of film development, including developing and fixing your photographic prints. 

You will be working in a darkroom in very low-level lighting (red safe light) and complete darkness. If you think you may find this difficult let the tutor know beforehand, most people adjust very quickly though. You should leave with some good photographs and a feeling of achievement.

A very good class. Informative, interesting, well taught and a good class for meeting new folk.

Really enjoyed the workshop, Barry was a fantastic teacher. Definitely re-ignited my interest in photography and looking forward to continuing to use the facilities at the DCA.
