Why Hands-On Workshops Are Essential for Photographers

I recently led a two-day workshop during Photo Festival Tampere at the Tampere Photography Society's darkroom. The workshop focused on the fundamentals of silver gelatin printing and explored the preparation of digital negatives tailored for darkroom conditions.

The most rewarding aspect of teaching is witnessing students grasp something new. Each workshop not only allows me to share my knowledge but also gives me the chance to learn from my students. Coming together with creative minds to exchange stories and insights makes hands-on workshops truly fulfilling. That’s what fuels my passion for conducting workshops and lectures.

In December, I’ll be organizing a two-day workshop at the Tampere Photography Center's darkroom. This advanced workshop will delve deeper into creative silver gelatin printing techniques and the preparation of digital negatives for darkroom conditions. Stay tuned for more details coming soon.
