Advanced Photography
Harness the power of the sun to create beautiful, Prussian blue prints using one of photography's oldest sustainable processes.
At the advanced level, photography is treated as a multidisciplinary craft. This course is a deep dive into the legacy of the medium and its future in a digital world. We explore advanced historical processes alongside modern digital management, focusing heavily on the "life of the file"—from the initial sensor capture to the final physical print.
A significant portion of the syllabus is dedicated to "Training the Eye" and finding an authentic artistic voice. We discuss the ethics of directing models and the environmental impact of different printing supports (papers, inks, and frames). The practical experience involves high-level studio production where the student acts as the lead director, managing both light and human subjects to execute a complex vision.
The Cyanotype process is a cornerstone of "Slow Photography." Unlike traditional darkroom methods, it is non-toxic, uses minimal water, and requires no electricity—relying entirely on UV light. We exclusively use FSC-certified recycled papers and locally foraged botanical elements, ensuring your art leaves a mark on the viewer, but not on the planet.
For who?
Artists, nature lovers, and the "tech-curious." No prior photography experience is required. This workshop is ideal for those looking to reconnect with tactile, analog processes and explore multimedia art.
Learning outcomes:
Understand the chemistry and history of the Cyanotype process
Master the art of hand-coating various porous surfaces with light-sensitive emulsions.
Learn to calculate exposure times using natural UV light and artificial sources.
Explore botanical composition and "natural toning" techniques to alter print colors.
Create a portfolio of unique, sustainable prints using foraged and recycled materials.
