11 AM - 5 PM

Class Size Max: 8

This 9-day course doubles as an introduction to both portraiture and traditional black and white photography in an intimate class setting. High school students will learn how to approach photographing peers, passersby, and themselves, utilizing the idea of “making” a portrait as a collaborative process between photographer and subject. Through interactive demonstrations and hands-on learning in our private darkroom and northlight studio, as well as photographic field trips around the city, students will learn how to operate manual 35mm cameras, develop skills to process black and white film, and print images in the darkroom. At the end of the course, students will present their work in a final pop-up exhibition. This course is open to high school students of all levels. Cameras and film will be provided.

Unfortunately, member discounts are not applicable for this workshop. We apologize for any inconvenience!
