SUMMARY:Black & White Negative with Nick Johnson (In-person)
DESCRIPTION:This critique-based workshop is for photographers who already develop
  black-and-white film and have access to a working darkroom. The class
  focuses on how exposure\, development\, and metering decisions affect
  the quality and flexibility of black-and-white negatives\, and how
  those choices shape the final print. 
 
 Using student work as the primary teaching tool\, the course combines
  group critique with targeted technical discussion. While some concepts
  draw from principles associated with the Zone System\, this is not a
  Zone System workshop. Instead\, students will learn adaptable
  strategies that can be applied across formats and working styles\,
  from 35mm to large format\, including both controlled and fast-paced
  shooting situations. 
 
 The class meets for two hours every other Monday and includes one
  private meeting with the instructor outside of class time. For the
  first session\, students should bring black-and-white prints along
  with the negatives used to make them. Assignments and feedback are
  tailored to each student's practice\, with an emphasis on refining
  technical control in support of individual creative direction. 
 
 Prerequisite: Prior experience developing black-and-white film and
  access to a darkroom.
