You will learn to see and appreciate light in a new way, learn to see and design shapes in the frame, and you will learn how to make fine black and white prints. In this course, you will learn how to properly expose film, how to develop that film, and to make beautiful exhibition quality black and white prints. This is not merely a technical course however.
