Smartphone to Darkroom

Oakland Aron Arts Center Building F

This workshop introduces participants to black-and-white darkroom printing using images made on their smartphones. By repurposing the phone as both image source and light source inside the enlarger, the workshop perfectly blends digital capture and analog photographic processes.

Designed as a short, intensive experience, the workshop emphasizes accessibility and experimentation. Participants leave with a physical photographic print and a foundational understanding of how digital images can be translated into analog form through direct, hands-on engagement in the darkroom.
