Photographs are created in darkrooms. Whether analogue or digital, the captured image becomes visible. But first of all a photograph is created in that other darkroom, your grey matter. You decide what will end up on that one-dimensional piece of paper (or those bits and bytes on your screen).
Because I am fascinated by this process, I want to write down my findings in this blog. I often think about why you take photographs in the first place. What makes you click? What makes you want to grab your camera and capture whatever is in front of your lens? I will show you the search for answers here on this Substack.
Why subscribe?
Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and website. I publish a weekly newsletter. Be sure to look out for those.
Why become a paid subscriber?
Everyone can sign up for the Darkrooms newsletter and get a lot of free content, but for $5 a month/$48 a year paid subscribers allow me to Develop Darkrooms.
It takes numerous hours to write these weekly newsletters, do interviews and publish Darkrooms Magazine. This is a reader-supported publication, so without your help this newsletter simply wouldn’t exist. Your contribution helps me reserve time to keep this train rolling.
The quarterly published Darkrooms Magazine is free to read online, but you can also download a copy for as little as $2 and support my efforts.
Thank you!
Stay up-to-date
You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox. You can read the archive on the website if you miss anything.
