This pinhole photography workshop INCLUDES an Ilford Obscura pinhole camera. A beautifully designed 5×4 pinhole camera presented in a lovely magnetic light-tight box complete with the following:

Extensive instructions
An exposure calculator
A pack of 10 5×4 sheets of Ilford Delta 100 film
10 sheets of Harman Direct Positive FB Paper
10 sheets of Ilford Multigrade RC paper
This is everything you need to get started in the wonderful world of pinhole photography!

In this one day workshop you will learn how to use the Obscura pinhole camera to its full potential; how to load the fiim & paper, how to calculate the correct exposure, how to process the film & paper in the darkroom and how to print an enlarged image. Pinhole photography takes image making back to the basics of light and time to create beautiful ephemeral and timeless photographs.

The Obscura normally retails at around £70 but for the cost of this workshop you will not only learn how to use the camera, but you will take away your very own Obscura camera at the end of the day.

Bonus: Course participants receive half price on annual Photofusion membership (£25 instead of £50) and a 50% discount on the studio for their first session (£75 instead of the full day price which varies between £150 and £98 inclusive of VAT).

Directions & Orientation: Photofusion is a 2-minute walk from Brixton Tube Station (last stop on the Victoria Line). Exit left, only one exit and take first left at Iceland into the market Electric Avenue. Then take first right into Electric Lane. Look up and halfway down on your left and you'll see a large vertical Photofusion sign, beneath the sign is a clear glass door and an entry buzzer. We are also 2 minutes from Brixton Train Station (one stop from Victoria) which is at the opposite end of Electric Avenue. If driving the only easy place to park is the NCP car park in Canterbury Crescent, a 3-minute walk away.
