Experience the Magic of Analog Imaging - Without a Camera
Join a unique workshop where we will dive into the world of photograms, one of the earliest and most liberating techniques in analog photography. This is an opportunity to experiment with manual printing in a darkroom, learn the basic principles of composition, light, and shadow, and create images from scratch directly on photographic paper, without using a camera.
The photogram is one of the first photographic techniques developed even before the invention of the camera! In the early 19th century, pioneers like William Henry Fox Talbot and Anna Atkins created direct images on photographic paper by exposing objects to light.
To this day, the photogram continues to serve as an open creative space to explore image, material, form, and light in a direct, physical, and free manner.
What’s in the workshop?
Create an image you love using photographic papers, gels, objects, and transparent images, and print it in a darkroom under the guidance of workshop leaders Miki and Idan!
*Workshop time varies from person to person and is not fixed.
**You must wait about half an hour after developing in the darkroom for the image to dry.
The workshop does not require prior knowledge and is suitable for anyone who wants to delve into the analog process and discover a free, intuitive, and material approach to working in a darkroom.
