Developing & printing from color-negative
6 hours / 4 hoursIn this workshop you will learn to develop your own color negatives (C41) and make analogue color prints (RA4). Note that positive (E6) film is not suitable. You can bring 35mm, medium format, or 4x5" sheet film to this workshop.
You will learn everything you need to independently achieve good results when making analogue color prints. You will learn how to use a color-enlargers, we will discuss the effect of the filters, how to efficiently create test strips to achieve the correct exposure/color, what preflash is and how to use it effectively. We will also cover the different types of paper and there will be room for creative experiments.
Experience developing and printing black and white film is helpful but not required. Bring a exposed roll of color film to develop and any already developed negatives you would like to use for making a print. The day will look something like this:
10:00 Introduction
10:20 Self-developing C41 color film
11:00 Drying film / Basic explanation of paper development/processor
11:30 Short break (bring something to eat); we'll provide tea or coffee
12:00 We will make a contact print and the first test strips
13:00 - 16:00 Printing! We'll discuss various printing techniques and you'll learn how to effectively correct colors.
Experience developing and printing black-and-white negatives is helpful for this workshop, but not essential. Select some negatives you'd like to print and which roll you'd like to use for your contact prints.
Chemicals and and paper are provided. Bring something to eat for a short break and something to transport your prints in (24 x 30cm). At the end of the workshop, you'll receive a PDF with a summary of everything we covered.
