Darkroom Rental is also available, call .............404-872-7262

Is the Darkroom side of photography dead? Yes, people are saying that the sun has set on darkroom work, and yes the lights are out for commercial applications of hand made photographs, (couldn't help it concerning the puns) but...............photographers are still using and enjoying the process of making finely crafted photographic prints. Where digital prints offer ink on paper and prints from color processors offer RA-4 Dye prints, black and white silver prints are rendered through the rich tones of Silver Halides converted to Metallic Silver. Photographers interested in the special characteristics of the fine art print are learning or returning to the darkroom to create the finest prints possible. Take advantage of our conventional tray process black and white darkroom on Saturdays in 2010. Call in advance to schedule time. Rate for darkroom rental is only $15 per hour. Basic black and white chemicals and equipment are provided, bring your own black and white paper! We will give assistance to remind you of the basics. Some experience in the darkroom is required, this is not a class, but you will have some help!
We do offer tutorials in darkroom work, call
