I have been fortunate enough to access some amazing courses at Parsons School of Design as part of my photography minor. In my final semester, I am enrolled in a Black & White Film Processing course as well as a Photo Etching course. Here, I will be documenting my journey with these techniques!
Black and white film has been my preferred medium for a while now, making this opportunity especially meaningful. I am excited to refine my skills and gain a deeper understanding of the process, from developing film to independently producing and printing my photographs. I look forward to sharing my progress with these practices!
