Introduction to the analog darkroom
Course instructor: Jochen Rohner
Jochen Rohner is part of the so-called old school: he has been photographing with film for well over forty years. His path led him from his architecture studies in Aachen, via his photo studio, also in Aachen, to his own photo lab in Berlin Mitte.
Since 2001 he has been based on Ackerstrasse and specializes in the black and white sector within analog photography.
Experience the magic of the analog darkroom and spend a day surrounded by atmospheric red light and the typical smell of photochemicals in a professional photo lab and studio.
Learn everything you need for your own darkroom in an exclusive one-on-one or paired course. Learn how to set up and operate the lab equipment, how to properly prepare photographic chemicals, and of course, how to create genuine analog black and white prints from negatives.
