PHOTO – SUMMER SESSION 3
June 16-28, 2024 (11 STUDIO DAYS)
Jim Stone
View Camera Workshop

The view camera may seem daunting, but it is easily mastered. Its contemplative, methodical approach rewards users with photographs of the highest quality. We will learn to use the large-format camera, control focus and perspective, develop sheet film using a simplified zone system, make enlargements in a darkroom, and scan negatives for digital printing. Alternative and historic printing methods will be discussed but not practiced. It will be helpful if students are familiar with the rudiments of traditional black-and-white photography — exposure, film development, and darkroom printing — but this workshop is open to all levels.
