B&W and Color Film Developing

Bangkok Darkroom's B&W and Color Film Developing Workshop teaches you to process your own film by hand, using the same tanks, chemistry, and timing methods professional labs rely on. Held at our studio near Phrom Phong BTS station, the workshop runs in two sections: black & white film developing in the morning, and color film developing in the afternoon, so you can join one or both.

What you'll learn in this film developing workshop

• How black & white film developing works, from chemistry to timing to agitation
• How color (C-41) film developing differs from black & white
• How to load film onto a reel and into a developing tank in complete darkness
• How to read and care for your own negatives once they're processed

What's included

• All chemistry and equipment for both sections
• Your own processed, ready-to-scan negatives to take home
• Guidance on storing and handling negatives afterward

How to Prepare

Bring up to 2 rolls of B&W film for the B&W section, and 2 rolls of color negative film for the color section. Your color film must be C-41 process. ECN-2 (cinema film) and E-6 (slide film) cannot be processed. Please arrive a few minutes early, as the workshop starts right on time.
