In a world of instant filters and endless scrolling, there is something deeply rewarding about the slow, tactile process of analog photography. The weight of the camera, the mechanical "clack" of the shutter, and the magic of seeing an image emerge in a tray of chemicals.
This workshop is a deep dive into the soul of photography. Under my guidance in my specialized Co'Lab darkroom, you will experience the complete journey: from loading your first roll of film to walking home with a physical, hand-made print.
We don't just "take" photos; we "make" them.
The Street Walk: We start by exploring the textures of Brussels, learning how to expose for film and why "missing the shot" is part of the beauty.
The Alchemy: You will learn how to develop your own black & white film—a process that feels like magic every single time.
The Darkroom: We step into the red light. I will teach you how to use an enlarger and the chemistry to create your own silver gelatin print.
The Shoot
10:00 - 12:30
Street Exploration: Shooting a roll of B&W film in the vibrant streets of Brussels. Focus on light and composition.
The Lab
12:30 - 14:00
Developing: Lunch break while we learn the chemical process of developing the negative.
The Print 14:00 - 17:30
Darkroom Session: Creating your contact sheets and making your final 18x24cm master print.
The Toast
17:30 - 18:00
The Reveal: Admiring the wet prints and discussing the results.
Price: €225 per person (Includes 1 roll of B&W film, all chemicals, high-quality photo paper, and professional coaching).
Level: No prior experience needed. Whether you've never touched a film camera or want to refresh your darkroom skills.
Group Size: Very limited (Max 3-6 people) to ensure everyone has their own enlarger and plenty of space.
If you have an analog camera (35mm), bring it! If not, don't worry—I have a collection of classic cameras you can borrow for the day. Wear clothes that can handle a stray drop of developer (or wear one of mine a cool aprons), and bring your curiosity for the "slow" side of art.
