About
In times when we are bombarded with technology, it’s good to try something different. Digital Detox is a one day workshop that will give you a grounding in analogue photography. Professional photographer Libby Nightingale will begin with an overview and history of wider traditional methods, film types and processing before giving you a chance to get hands-on and create your own cyanotypes and salt prints.

Who is it for?
This workshop is for any photographer who would like a break from digital and would like some information about and hands-on experience of traditional printing methods.

Workshop Contents
In the morning camera obscura, pinhole photography, film types and sizes are covered in a mixture of introductory talks and demonstrations from Libby. In the afternoon this is followed by practical excercises in alternative film developing to include both cyanotypes and salt prints.
