- Introducing the experience of making large and ultra-large format negatives
    Tsuyoshi Ito, Making Large Negatives with Large Cameras, Photography Classes and Workshops in Philadelphia PA
Description: In this hands-on two day workshop, students will work with large and ultra-large format cameras to experience the making of large negatives and learn the advantages of formats. A variety of format sizes including 4x5, 5x7, 8x10, and 7x17 will be offered for students to try out different sizes of cameras and create negatives with them. Working with such large cameras is quite a different experience for a photographer, and there are both technical and aesthetic implications to it.

In the darkroom, we will cover different ways to process these large format negatives and by the end of the workshop, students will produce silver contact prints from some of the negatives made during the workshop. We will also discuss issues pertaining to using these cameras in the contemporary time including the choice of films, transportation of equipment, storage, and others.
