Photography: Advanced Traditional Film

This course is offered to students in Grades 11 and 12.

A prerequisite for entering this program is the successful completion of the Beginner Traditional Photography course. This course explores advanced techniques of traditional photography including a deeper exploration of the camera's creative tools, the use of specialized films and camera accessories, studio lighting, and advanced darkroom skills—while working in a professional-level darkroom. Challenging assignments will provide an introduction to such diverse techniques as multiple exposures, negative sandwiches, contrast control with filters, motion in a still image, and hand-colouring and toning. A deeper discussion of black & white photography and its role in social change will be discussed throughout the program. Students will need to bring their own 35mm SLR traditional (film) camera to the course or consider renting one of our beginner traditional (film) rental cameras—$150 for the course duration. There are additional costs for film and printing paper, which are available from the School Store.
