Darkroom and Photography Classes

Retired and bored? Get out of the house and try something new! Kids driving you nuts? Sign them up for a darkroom class and give them lifelong pleasure!

The Camera Doctor is offering  regular darkroom and photography classes at our shop on North Decatur Road. Class sessions run for varying lengths of time.  Complete darkroom facilities and supplies are available. Refer to this page for the latest updates.

A beginning toy camera class is offered quarterly, and darkroom classes are ongoing. Next class is scheduled for Saturday, November 10, 2012, from 9:00 a.m. until noon.

Our very popular Ansel Adams Large Format Class will be reconvening for four Saturdays beginning September 8, 2012. This class includes instruction in the use of large format cameras (which are available for loan to students), darkroom techniques, and field trips for shooting during class. Just a few spaces are left.

Beginning October 30, we will offer an Advanced Darkroom Class. This Tuesday evening class, from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m., will take a step or two beyond our beginner darkroom class. Scheduled for four sessions, it will enable you to take your darkroom work to its next level.

Call the store for more details and to sign up.

We hire experienced, enthusiastic, and friendly instructors. Currently classes are taught by Decatur photographers Phil Mosier, Maureen Holmberg, Joe Aczel, and Rob Holland.
