Black and White Day
Description
The Black and White film day is a photo workshop that allows you to discover traditional photography.
Indeed, during the day you will discover black and white film shooting, traditional hand development, and silver halide printing in our laboratory.
This workshop is composed of a group of 3 to 5 students supervised by a Photo Professor who will accompany beginner students or those already familiar with film photography who wish to discover development and printing.
This day is dedicated to the 35mm format. We recommend the use of a mechanical SLR camera for the shooting part (Nikkormat, Canon FTB, Minolta SRT, Pentax K1000...). We can lend you a camera if you don't have one or if your camera doesn't meet the requirements (no extra charge). All consumables are provided: HP5 35mm 24-exposure film, developing chemicals, negative storage sheets, RC photo paper and paper chemicals, as well as all the equipment necessary for using a darkroom.
The day unfolds as follows:
- Start at 9:00 AM: Introduction to the day with the Professor at our cafe La Limonade de Marinette, 46, rue Saint Georges 69005, explanation and equipment check for shooting and the provided film. The group then sets off to take different types of photographs (indoor, outdoor, portrait, architecture, street, landscape...) with an emphasis on shooting theory and its subtleties.
- 11:00 AM: The group returns to our laboratory shop at 13, rue de la Bombarde 69005 to conclude the shooting and begin developing the films shot in the morning. The various precautions and explanations for developing are discussed. The Professor develops the films in front of the students, providing blank films for you to practice spooling, handling a developing tank, and film chemicals. Film development ends with the drying phase, which will allow the group to take a lunch break (not included).
- 2:00 PM: Upon returning from the break, the films are dry, and negative analysis can begin. For this, darkroom work can start. The Professor will make a contact print in front of the students for each participant, allowing you to analyze your morning photos. You can then select an image you wish to print under an enlarger (18x24cm RC paper). This image will allow you to discover the enlarger, the principle of paper chemicals, and the magic of the image appearing before your eyes.
The day ends around 6:00 PM, having discovered all phases of Black and White film photography. You will leave with your negative in a sheet, your contact print, and a print made by you.
