Analogue Photography is hot.

Photography is going old school: lomography is back in fashion and analogue photography is enjoying renewed popularity.

And it makes sense, because developing your own films and printing your own negatives in a darkroom feels like magic.
Black and white analogue photography can create beautiful prints with lots of shades of grey, deep blacks and wonderful highlights.
Dodging and burning, masking, contrast control, all the techniques that we now know from Photoshop, were already used by the great masters of photography but then in their analogue darkrooms.

The FOTOfactory would like to introduce you to this wonderful experience. During this workshop you are going to learn all you need to know when you enter your darkroom. Enlarger, paper lights films and chemicals, everything revealed by an absolute analogue pro!! Printing on analogue paper is not done by negative but by a hybrid developed in-house technique. You make use of your own images, your own mobile device. And we guarantee you, it will be love at first site! Enrol today and we will send you more information via e-mail. It is not necessary that you have any darkroom experience.

And if you really want to dig into the Darkroom Stuff then we offer a pro-course of 3Day. Film developing, shooting analogue and printing analogue.

EQUIPMENT INFO

We want to keep your first time in the Darkroom simple and it should be fun. So we educate you how to face all the challenges in the darkroom. How to create a perfect  analogue print. How to build an efficient and not to costly darkroom. We will use our enlargers to demonstrate.

And really.. you will love it.
