When we choose to integrate the darkroom into the teaching at Visual Communication, it is because it is in great demand among our students. It is not without reason, because the creation of an analogue photograph is pure magic. From the secret that happens in the analogue camera during the shooting, over the development of the film to the production of the final copy in the darkroom. The task was open, but the reflection on the choice of motif and the technical challenges had to be documented. Therefore, the project has turned into folders, where one or two selected images are accompanied by a text that relates to a reflection on motifs and the entire process.
