Pinhole Photography Family Workshop

Make your own camera out of a drinks can in this photography class in London.



7 hours Class size 2 to 4 guests    

  £225 (£225 for Person; £225 for Adult and child) (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

A camera with no lens, no settings, and no viewfinder that you can make yourself out of an empty can of drink? Come along and find out how in this photography class in London! Plus, experiment with a couple of other pinhole cameras to see how different designs affect the image and the calculations.
We will embrace mistakes, learn why things go wrong, and enjoy the slow process. No prior experience needed -- just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
What to expect:
  • Learn how to expose photographic paper in your camera, develop your paper negatives in the darkroom, and select your favourite image to turn into a positive print.
  • You will also get the chance to try Direct Positive paper and compare the unique results it produces, making a varied set of images along the way.
  • A really fun experimental day: exposures will be guessed; pictures will fail; surprises will happen.
Children and families welcome. Each child must be 11 or older and be accompanied by a paying adult. By the end of the workshop, you'll have paper negatives and prints straight from the darkroom to take home!
What you'll get
Plenty of paper negatives you can invert with your phone, plus 1-2 prints made in the darkroom.
Knowledge required
Beginner-friendly.
What to bring
Come ready for selfies!
Suitable for

Suitable for adults, and kids (minimum 11 years old).
