Darkroom Photography
For children entering grades 6–8
Did you know that the literal meaning of the word “photograph” is “light picture?” As technological advances in image-making continue to change the way we do things by offering a wealth of options and conveniences, it’s important to look back at the rich history of traditional methods and equipment used to create light pictures. This class takes your learner into Lab’s own darkroom to teach them in a tactile way about the relationship between light and time, and how those two things come together to create a photograph. Your young photographer will take pictures on film using a manual camera, and then print on real black-and-white photo paper and make physical photographs that they can take home.
