Are you looking to expand your darkroom toolkit? Join this workshop and learn how to dodge, burn and employ split toning. Many of you may already be familiar with these concepts from Photoshop or Lightroom, but don’t know how to translate that understanding into a wet darkroom practice. Dodging and burning are invaluable techniques for controlling the exposure in select areas of your print. Split toning helps you control the shadows in your print separately from your highlights. These three tools will grant you greater control and precision to create gelatin silver prints that live up to your own vision for your negatives.

Following 2 hours of instruction, the remainder of the workshop is an Open Studio Day so that you have the time and space to practice these new strategies.

Please bring your B+W (35mm or medium format) negatives to the workshop. RC paper is provided (maximum of 10 sheets; please bring more if you think you’ll need it during Open Studio time). DARKROOM BASICS II, CRASH COURSE, or equivalent experience are pre-requisites for this course.

Parental consent required for children under 18 years old (minimum age is 15).
