How to Find Space for a Darkroom

Hi, my name is Lanie McCormick I'm a fine art photographer in Austin, Texas. I'm here to show you how to set up a dark room on behalf of Expert Village. The first thing in setting up a dark room that you are going to want to consider is your space. You are going to want to find a space that is big enough to house two different workstations. You're going to have a wet workstation and a dry workstation within this space you're also going to need to have access to ventilation, electricity and to water. Some people think it's important to paint a dark room black on the inside but it's just a myth, you don't want to do that. Actually white walls are the best color to have in a dark room that way you can notice any light links coming from windows or doors.
