Beginner Darkroom Classes
Photography can be so much more magical than pixels trapped behind a glass screen. Liberate your images into the real world! You’ll learn to process your own black and white film, make contact sheets, select the best frame for printing and work with an enlarger. Using chemistry and light you’ll create unique prints, completely hand made by you.
This introduction to black and white darkroom is for only two kinds of people; those who have worked in a darkroom and want to get back into it and those who haven’t done it yet! It’s the perfect blend of science and art and as close as you’ll get to alchemy.
Available as a 3 part evening class series starting Tuesday, October 18, 2016 and a one day workshop on Sunday, November13, 2016.
Our new darkroom facility was custom built just for teaching small groups. We have a film processing area, a printing darkroom with 10 enlarger stations, custom sinks, ample air conditioning and ventilation systems, and wise teachers to help you develop your skills.
What to bring: One roll of exposed 35mm or 120 Kodak or Ilford black and white film. No XP-2 or similar C41 process film. If you aren’t sure, write us and ask!

Dallas Center for Photography’s Intermediate Photoshop classes take the basics from the Beginner classes and put them into action with real world, complex images. You’ll learn more about the power of Photoshop to retouch images, dissect and re-composite photos and enhance or alter reality. The Beginner Photoshop series or equivalent are prerequisites. At the end of the Intermediate series you’ll be able to extract objects from complex backgrounds, make photorealistic adjustments to portraits and products, apply advanced techniques to landscapes, assemble panoramas and create HDR images.
Each series consists of four classes. The first three classes of each series are demonstration style, with the instructor taking you through a tour of tools, features and techniques. The last class of each series is a hands-on lab where you’ll work with your own laptop and follow along as you’re shown how to put your new found skills into action. The “Adobe Photoshop CC Classroom in a Book” is required and will provide support and exercises for several of the modules.

This unique workshop is for people who blog about food. Dallas Center for Photography has brought together three instructors who are experts in the art and business of blogging and who look forward to sharing their knowledge and insights with you.
Your very busy day will start with introductions followed by a presentation on turning your passion into a business by Coryanne Ettiene (@ettienemarket) including:

- What makes a picture impactful and worth posting
- Using a DSLR and/or an iPhone to take pictures of your food

Dallas Center for Photography’s 2-day lighting workshop will help you increase the impact and production quality of your images whether you’re building a professional career in photography or just love to shoot recreationally.
We’ll start with an overview of the concepts and hardware of studio lighting. Over two days, together we’ll build and use different lighting setups from simple and clean limbo lighting to more elaborate setups. You’ll learn how and why to lean toward a certain lighting style and then have a chance to build it, shoot it and review the images. What you learn here could be applied to both still photography and video/film production.
Instructor Steve McWilliams has over 30 years in film production and media creation and is known for his depth of knowledge and willingness to share his experience with others. He was a top selling contributor to Getty Images in both still and motion collections and ran a successful still portrait business with an emphasis on high quality images and deft retouching. Steve also has a well known MacGyver-like skill for solving on-set challenges with inventive trickery and hacks.
