Ever wondered what went on in the darkroom and what that red light was for? Photographers have been using darkrooms for at least a hundred years to develop their film and make prints. Only recently has the digital medium somewhat supplanted film photography. Yet there still remain some photo effects that are, some would claim, most effectively produced in the darkroom; and some photographers swear by chemical baths and fixing solutions as the only real way to bring a photograph to light.

Whatever your particular bent on the art of photography may be, learn how to use the darkroom as one of your tools for developing and printing beautiful pictures. Our expert will walk you through the step-by-step process for developing black-and-white photos, including removing the film from the cassette, loading it on a spool, using the proper agitation method, prewashing, and the developer process. He’ll also show you what supplies you need and help you decide which brand of chemicals to use.
