Exploring Landscape through Black and White - Fall 2023

Join us for a course on analog black and white film focused on landscape photography. This class delves into one of the classic themes of photography and its roots in the analog process.

Through lectures, artist reviews, assignments, and in-class critiques, we'll explore and put our own stamp on the rich history of landscape photography. Our focus will be on the technical aspects of landscape photography as well as the aesthetic considerations of producing captivating and emotionally impactful work.

There is also one Saturday field trip to a picturesque location within an hour or so of Seattle and spend some in-class lab time where you can receive feedback and assistance with printing and developing (additional time outside of class in the darkroom will be required to fulfill the course requirements).

This course is perfect for anyone who loves landscape photography and has completed Photo 1 and wants to delve deeper into the fundamentals or for experienced photographers who want to expand their skill set in this amazing genre of photography. Our goal is to inspire, challenge, and elevate your landscape photography to new heights.
