Many great photographers start as photojournalists. Learn the technical foundations, ethical limits, and interview skills of a working photojournalist! Set yourself up for success as a great photographer. Add audio recordings and written samples to your photos to create a multimedia storytelling approach. We will visit archives and publish a full photo story in Seattle’s local newspaper. 

Learn how to photograph, develop, and print black-and-white film with Cennady! Become versed in using a film camera, a light meter, and various composition techniques. Dig into hands-on techniques for making photograms, small and medium-sized prints, and adjusting contrast and brightness. We will learn the rules of the darkroom and then break them!

Building on the skills from Beginning Darkroom, this class encourages students to work on an artistic theme throughout the course, culminating in two final prints that work as a series. Youth will use metal-bodied mechanical cameras to really hone their more advanced technical skills. 120 film and medium-format cameras can be incorporated as well.
