In our one-day workshop with @HollyLynton, students will learn strategies for effective research to support project depth and development. At the end of the day, they can expect to walk away with an archival collection of images that they can use to place their work in a historical context and a deeper understanding of the significance of their practice. Open to students of all levels with an existing project or idea that they would like to find references for. Thursday | April 2 Learn more & register at the link in bio.

Our Chemical Painting workshop with @RoseFrisenda happening in February has sold out, but we've added another session in March! Chemigrams, an experimental, camera-less technique, combines the process of applying photographic chemistry on light-sensitive paper. This technique pushes the boundaries of the photographic medium and silver gelatin paper without negatives or an enlarger. In our intro, one-day workshop, students will use various resists and an assortment of tools to paint with chemistry and achieve varied forms on gelatin silver papers.

Our neighbors at Penumbra Foundation are a big part of the photography community we serve. Its members routinely bring their film to LTI for processing, scanning, and printing. In turn, supporting Penumbra’s artists is an important part of the work we do here at @lti_lightside by providing discounts and sharing production space and resources. This unique partnership generates positive energy not just for our two companies but also for the creative community at large - we’re grateful to consider the fine folks at Penumbra our friends.
