For anyone who’s ever wanted to try film photography, this is the class for you. The intensive day-long workshop will take you step-by-step through the full process of shooting, processing and developing 35mm film from your SLR or rangefinder camera (a number of these can be rented for $10 per class if students don’t own one). After meeting at the designated darkroom, you’ll learn to load your camera, followed by a refresher on shooting mechanics and how to use your light meter. Then, you’ll shoot a roll of film in the surrounding neighborhood before returning to the darkroom to process the film using a film reel and developing tank. You’ll also make contact prints and enlarge negatives onto traditional darkroom paper, so you can take home a beautiful 8 x 10 print that you created from start to finish! Lunch break will be included; students should feel free to bring their lunch or dine in one of the nearby restaurants or cafes.
Who should take this class:
Intermediate and experienced digital shooters who want to try shooting film. Anyone interested in the overall process of analog film capture, processing and printing in a classic darkroom setting.
What to bring:
Bring your film-based 35mm SLR or rangefinder camera if you have one. We do have a limited number of cameras available for rental at $10 per class. Since this is an all-day class we will have a lunch break, so you might want to bring lunch. There are restaurants and cafés nearby as well.

I did the one-day workout this Sunday from 11am-4pm led by Kathy. I couldn't be happier with the class, it's really well structured and easy to understand. After having been using the auto mode on my camera for 7+ years now, I can finally use the manual mode now. I took some shots on manual after the class and some turned out a lot better than the auto mode. I'm so excited to take my camera out for runs now. Thanks so much Kathy and BKC!
A picture is worth a thousand words, and no one knows it better than BKC photography experts. There's more to life than what meets the eye, and the photography pros at BKC know how to capture it all through a lens. They're adept at adjusting camera settings for various shots, finding great lighting, and getting all of the best angles for shots that speak volumes.
