Analog Photography Course: The Art of Slow Photography
ANALOG PHOTOGRAPHY
Slow photography, making things by hand is pure joy!
Discover the magic of the darkroom in the heart of Brussels. In this autumn series (11 nights from September-December), you will learn the complete process: from manual camera settings and film loading to developing your own B&W negatives and creating silver gelatin prints. We start with three theoretical sessions at GC Elzenhof and then move to the professional Co-Lab for lab work.
Perfect for beginners and those returning to film.
