NEW!

Sa Taronja now has a fully equipped and operating DARKROOM for printing black-and-white (analogue) photos.

If you are a photographer with darkroom experience who would like to use these facilities, get in touch with us.
For those without experience who would like to learn to develop and print photos the old-fashioned way, we will be running workshops on darkroom technique and on creating and using a pinhole camera, starting now.

What is a pinhole camera? Basically, it's a cardboard (or metal) box, with a pin hole in one of its walls and sensitized photographic paper on the opposite wall.

"Pinhole imagery may be photography's equivalent of drawing with chalk. Simple. Cheap. Accessible to anyone. Capable of astonishing, sophisticated results. This is photography's sleight of hand. The fact that we can produce a quality image on sensitized materials without a lens fascinates and inspires. Out of nothing comes something..." David F. Stein

Details of the 10-hour course on Pinhole Photography (30 april, 7 and 21 May), see below.
