Become an analogue expert with documentary photographer, David Babaian. As a long-time M user, David will share an overview of some of his favourite analogue M cameras and film stocks before demonstrating how to develop black-and-white film at home. This course is designed to provide participants with a guide to basic home development of black and white film. It is a hands-on, live demonstration which will take participants through each step of the process, from loading negatives onto spools, through to mixing and using the chemistry. During the demonstration, participants will be able to follow along at home should they wish to do so, as well as ask questions regarding each aspect of the process and overcome any worries they may have about home development.
A PDF step by step guide will be sent to each participant after the demo for future use.
