Dark room

Today, all photos are stored on a memory card or hard drive, but until the 1990s, the entire photo process was analog. The images were "stored" on a film roll, and it was not possible to look at the images until the film was developed in a darkroom. If the film was exposed to light, it would be damaged.

In the darkroom elective, you get to try the entire process of taking and creating black and white photos. You get to borrow an analogue photo camera, you get film and you learn how to take the pictures. We then develop the film with various chemicals, before it can be placed in a device that transfers the images onto paper, one by one. The paper also has to go through a process of chemicals and rinsing before it is finished.

The school has a darkroom and all the necessary equipment. If you already have an analogue camera, you can bring it along.
