Dark Matters
In the black and white photography program at The School of Light students are immersed in an intensive study of some of photography’s masters of the art, from Cartier-Bresson to Sally Mann.
Using their own beautiful film cameras ranging from an unusual 35mm SLR LeicacR7 through to a Mamiya RZ 6×7 medium format system, students process and print negatives shot on assignment.
Students apply themselves to the craft of creating black and white images; stepping through the methods of developing and collating their films; producing contact prints and editing their selections for exhibition quality prints.

Light it Up
The School of Light six-week Into the Light course launched with a full class of students immersing themselves in an assignment on location at The Reef in downtown Los Angeles.
Kicking off with a look at some of the key elements in photography, including principles of composition and a sense of atmosphere, students were challenged and inspired by the environment of this iconic Broadway landmark.
