Why Printing in the Darkroom is Worth It | Copper Leg Residency

Описание: I’ve spent over a week at the Copper Leg Art Residency in Estonia, completely immersed in darkroom printing. My focus has been on split-grade printing, dodging, burning, and experimenting with different negatives—all in search of a unique photographic expression.

In this video, I share my experiences, including:
📸 The challenges of darkroom printing (it’s harder than it looks!)
🕰️ Why creativity takes time—and why instant results don’t work
🌑 My experiments with high-contrast negatives, pushed film, and free-lensing prints

I also reflect on how printing for no specific purpose—just for the sake of creating—can be incredibly liberating. If you’re into film photography, darkroom techniques, or analog printing, this one’s for you!
