Description

Join photographer Christopher Campbell at Strata’s project space for an introductory course in film-based 35mm black-and-white photography. The class is designed to provide you with a foundational understanding of the technical, aesthetic, and conceptual aspects of photography as it relates to the visual arts. Specific areas of technical instruction will include: the manual functions of your 35mm camera and exposing 35mm black and white film.

We will be processing the film for students in between sessions and making small 5x7 prints for each student.

In addition to enhancing your technical capabilities and your visual sensitivity, this course will encourage you to think about the way images can function in relation to one another.
