Out Of Nowhere

Almost anyone can take photographs, but it's only in the darkroom that you really show your creativity! Above all, there is something magical about the process of taking analog pictures. The size of the hand print can be individually selected and the contrasts finely controlled. Afterwards, the photographed reality slowly emerges in the developer bath, an exciting interplay of light and shadow in the almost dark room. But how do you actually get the perfect photo in black and white? The young participants of the workshop first go in search of suitable motifs with an analog camera and then develop and dry their own film in the darkroom. The negatives then form the starting material for their own prints, a selection is made, the right image section and suitable photo paper are chosen. Every photo is unique!
