Discover a creative alternative to modern digital photography: this hands-on course explores experimental ways of producing photographic images without a camera. Learn the basics of dark room processes and using chemicals to fix prints, build your own pinhole camera to make images, create blue-tinted prints with sunlight and make prints from objects like the artist Man Ray, with astonishing results.
