In the Dark

Yo Darkroom

Cell phone pictures always seem to suffer the same fate: Take them. Look at them the next morning. Cringe at the depicted shenanigans. Hit delete.

What happened to the good old days when your photographic efforts ended up in a frame?

Your manual camera isn’t a paperweight. Learn how to use it: Yo Darkroom is here to help as a haven for budding and advanced photographers alike.

Their beginners’ classes focus on both digital and film photography, so you’ll learn the basics of composition, lighting, developing, and printing. More seasoned photographers can participate in workshops and classes that explore subject matter and critical thinking.

They offer darkroom and studio space rental by the hour, and two separate galleries feature rotating exhibits of renowned artist and student work.

Since incriminating photos are a thing of the past, your photos will be the only things getting framed.

Available at Yo Darkroom, 113 North 23rd Street (sherry@yodarkroom.com or yodarkroom.com).
