Black-And-White Photography And Darkroom Techniques
At the entrance to the picturesque Antholzertal in South Tyrol, the stunning and stately Ansitz Heufler awaits, highlighted by the "Hearnstube," a masterpiece of the Renaissance. With deep connections to culture and art, it regularly hosts workshops on a variety of topics and techniques, with the historic setting of Ansitz Heufler providing the perfect backdrop.
At the end of May, photography enthusiasts can take part in a workshop to learn all about analogue black-and-white photography and darkroom techniques – no prior experience necessary! Those who own an analogue camera are encouraged to bring it along, while everyone else is welcome to borrow one on-location.
