Summary: As digital photography takes over, traditional film processing is gradually being phased out. No longer do people get the thrill of watching a photo develop right before your eyes in a darkroom. They just pull them up on a computer and there they are. But photographs printed the old-fashioned way are somehow still magical. The tones, especially for black and white photos, are much richer than those from digital images. This is the reason why traditional printing continues to have a stronghold in the art world. A job well done in the darkroom can't be beat!

In this series of free photography videos from our experienced photo printer, you will learn about developing and printing black and white film. Our expert gives you an overview of the materials you will need, such as developer, fixer and stop bath, and discusses processing requirements for different types of film. Not sure how to equip your darkroom? Watch this video series for an overview of the black and white film printing process.
