For this project, we will work with ortho-chromatic photo paper that is designed to be used in dim red-to-amber light. Only certain kinds of very light-sensitive materials, like color photo paper or black and white film, require total darkness. There are a couple important ideas to understand before we start talking about the nitty-gritty.įirst: your home darkroom does not have to be totally dark.
#Darkroom suplies how to
Since many of us are adapting to working from home, without the tools we normally work with, the spirit of resourcefulness I learned from early photography has inspired this post about how to retrofit your bathroom to create experimental photographic prints at home using common photographic supplies that you can buy online.
This accessible approach to photography was something I carried with me as I moved forward in time, learning traditional darkroom processes with modern film and paper. One of my very first darkrooms was built into a large cardboard box.
#Darkroom suplies portable
Early photography made the science of image-making – a chemical reaction with light – into a DIY process that could happen at home in a make-shift lab, or in a portable darkroom that could be carried with you up a mountain, or wherever you went to make images. I went straight back to the beginning of photographic technology, to the Wet Plate Collodion process. If there is an item we don't stock, then just let us know and we will do our best to get it in for you.Ten years ago when I started to learn photography, I skipped over digital, and even analog film. We stock all major brands and also have many obscure and hard-to-find items, catering equally for film and digital photographers. In 2014, we partnered with Harman Technology to promote the use of darkrooms and dedicated traditional processes. Our central location in the Midlands allows for fast delivery to all regions.
All orders placed online or by phone are processed and shipped on the same day (subject to availability and time of day). We keep very high stock levels of all film and paper, allowing us to offer next-day shipping to most parts of the UK and standard shipping to all other areas in the EU and worldwide. Our new state-of-the-art distribution center provides climate-controlled conditions for optimal storage of photographic materials. We are excited about our new website coming in late 2023/2024 where we have some exciting new Nova Darkroom products hitting the market.
