Years ago the only way to print a photo was to make test strips, make a test print, go back and dodge and burn details, make more test strips, another test print and so on and so on until you got the result you were after. In these photos released by Magnum Photos in New York, you can get a closer look at the process followed by their master printer, Pablo Inirio. As shown in

6 Essential Tips for Managing Your Photography Classes Media & Techniques % %
This is a bundle that'll get your classes going in high school photography! This is a project based course where students use their class time to develop their critical creative eye and push their knowledge of cameras beyond what they know. It also involves a lot of art design, and seeing how photography is indeed a form of art. It's just so much fun. Included are both my Grade 11 and Grade 12 units. Enough content for an entire year. It includes more than enough projects to fit a one semester long curriculum that I use over the course of 5 months. Given that these projects are very flexible in regards to timelines, I've included enough assignments that I use with my senior photography courses. It includes both DARKROOM and DIGITAL units. This bundle includes: INTRO/START OF THE COURSE intro activities to make students feel welcome and excited! photo journal sketchbooks (a life saver for any "down time") ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES AND COMPOSITION FOR PHOTOGRAPHY a lesson plus some projects where they apply what they've learned HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY 2 student led presentations, where students are assigned a photographer and do daily presentations includes the invention of photography all the way to modern photographers INTRO TO DSLR CAMERA PARTS + FUNCTIONS an intro to key things like shutter/ISO/aperture etc. both the inside and outside of the camera INTRO TO THE DARKROOM + FILM step by step guides, with lots of guidance STUDENTS' FAVOURITE DIGITAL + DARKROOM PROJECTS fits all the genres (portrait, product, still life etc) with lots and LOTS of room for creativity and choice for every project 3 PHOTO CHALLENGES NEWLY UPDATED WITH depth of field, lighting, long exposures MIXED MEDIA ASSIGNMENTS FOR IN-CLASS WORK These are super fun and creative, and get students working hands-on in the classroom while still working with photos EXTRA MATERIALS teaching advanced composition, generic photography proposal, generic photo rubric etc. ENJOY! NOTES: - The photography journals and extra mixed media assignments are a life saver for this course! This will keep them working and engaged and learning lots! - I usually run one darkroom and one digital project at a time to keep them going - Some of the projects aren't editable, and are uploaded as PDF's given that I create them on Pages and this file type isn't accepted on TPT Similar resources in my shop: ➼Course Bundle for JUST DARKROOM ➼Course Bundle for JUST DIGITAL ◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈ ➯ Click HERE to follow my shop and see updates and new products. ➯ Please don't forget to leave feedback on my products!

This is a presentation that I've created to help high school Photography students get used to the darkroom and the photographic process - from developing film, to exposing it with the enlarger, to developing the paper! The full process. Also included are matching signs for putting up in the darkroom/outside. It goes through: -the enlarger and the different parts -darkroom rules about the photo paper / exposure -the paper developing process (each chemical / time) -a clean up checklist -darkroom safety -test strips -contact sheets -what makes a good print -loading & unloading film into the 35mm camera -developing film process I get students to make notes on this as we go along, because it's critical information for them to know before they enter the darkroom. Then I do demo's with them after this Powerpoint, to review the material. I hope it helps! It breaks down these difficult processes into really basic, easy to understand steps.

Although I've professed my love for film many times in many articles, I've always been missing a key ingredient to the analog experience. Namely, I've never learned to print my own film in the darkroom. Sad, I know. Well, no more! My journey to teaching myself to use a darkroom starts now and, whether you like it or not, I'm taking you with me.

This is a complete course bundle that'll help you teach high school analog - film and the darkroom! It can be totally daunting to teach this, since there's so much for students to learn, but this course breaks it down. Students create amazing projects and prints and really fall in love with this "old school" medium. This is often paired with DIGITAL photography too in high school, which I have a combo bundle for. Included in this darkroom bundle is: ✤ INTRO TO COURSE = activities to get students feeling welcome and excited ✤ ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES UNIT = getting to know the basics with some fun challenges and projects ✤ HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY = 2 student-led presentation projects that take them from the beginning invention of photography to modern photography (this is a wonderful way to start every class! with one presentation) ✤ INTRO TO THE DARKROOM = signage/intro handouts ✤ INTRO PROJECTS = photograms and pinhole cameras (by starting with these projects, students ease into key things about the darkroom and chemicals) ✤ FILM PROJECT / CONTACT SHEET PROJECT /FIRST PRINT PROJECT ✤ PHOTO MANIPULATIONS PROJECT = finally getting experimental with analog beyond just the "perfect print" ✤EXTRA'S = course profile, sketchbook journals (involves digital and creative tasks) and mixed media projects to keep them engaged with hands-on learning during class time when they're not in the darkroom! ✤helpful generic photo rubric + hall pass for photo students I fell in love with the darkroom in high school and it pushes me to pursue it as one of my majors for my uni degree, so a lot of these projects are close to my heart.

I’ve gotten enough requests now that I thought I’d make a page about my darkroom. It never occurred to me because it’s hardly special, just a corner of our garage I walled off, it’s no bigger than a closet, though it does have decent ventilation Read More ...
Despite the current renaissance of film photography, one of the biggest issues facing celluloid fans is getting it processed and printed. Long gone are the days of mini-labs in every small town, today you are more likely to have to send it off to another location to get the processing done. Even more tricky is to find places that will process and print black and white film, so, with that in mind, why not have a go yourself. Back in the analogue days, one of the most popular ways of doing this was to have a bathroom darkroom. This simple

Darkroom experiment using Kodak 35mm BW film negative, Ilford Pearl photo paper and enlarger with 50mm lens. Image was first burned onto photo paper then put into developing solution for 20 seconds. Photo paper was then exposed to light for 2 more seconds then put back once more into developing solution until the desired "solarization" effect took place. Original image captured with a Nikon F3 with 50mm manual lens. Scanned to digital image with a Canon MG6120 Scanner/Printer.
