SPEC Utrecht — Color Darkroom

Workshops



Color handprinting from color-negative

4 hours

*In the workshop of May 24th you will also learn how to develop your own Color Film (+2 hr)

In this workshop, you will learn how to make analog color handprints (RA4) from color negatives (C41). Please note: positive (E6) slide film is not suitable. You can bring 35mm, medium format, or 4×5″ sheet film to this course.

You will learn everything you need to produce a balanced handprint. We will teach you how to efficiently use test strips to achieve the correct exposure/colorbalance, how preflash paper and use this technique effectively. We will also cover the different paper types and there will be room for individual creative experiments. Experience in a black and white darkroom is helpful but not required. Bring developed color negatives that you want to use to make a print. Decide in which roll you want to use for a contact print and pre-select 3-5 images from your archive that you would like to print from. 

Chemistry and paper (24 x 30 cm) will be provided. Bring something to eat for a short break in between. 

If you want to book this workshop for two people or more, you can suggest your own preferred date.
