Discover the magic of traditional photography and learn the complete process of developing and printing your own black-and-white photographs in this hands-on 2-day Analog Photography Workshop in Berlin with multidisciplinary artist Araiké Da Silva.

Taking place in his personal studio and darkroom in Berlin Wedding, this intimate workshop invites you to step away from digital photography and experience the craft, patience, and creativity of analog image-making.

Whether you are curious about darkroom photography for the first time or want to deepen your understanding of traditional photographic techniques, Araiké will guide you through every step of the process — from developing your film to creating your own handmade prints.

During The 2-Day Analog Photography Workshop with Araiké in Berlin, You Will Learn:

The workshop is divided into two practical sessions:

Day 1: Black & White Film Development (3 hours)

On the first day, you’ll learn the foundations of film development and discover what happens behind the scenes of analog photography.

You will learn:

  • How to develop your own black-and-white film
  • Understanding the chemicals used in the developing process
  • The complete film development process: developing, washing, and fixing
  • How to handle and care for your negatives

Day 2: Darkroom Printing & Enlargement (3 hours)

On the second day, you’ll enter the darkroom and learn how to transform your negatives into physical photographs.

You will learn:

  • How to enlarge and print your developed film
  • How to work with a traditional darkroom setup
  • How to create at least 3 handmade photographic prints
  • The process behind turning negatives into finished artworks

Throughout the workshop, Araiké will share his knowledge of analog photography and guide you through the techniques used by traditional photographers before the digital era.

Important: Please bring a black-and-white film that you have already shot and that is ready to be developed.

Please note: NO COLOUR FILM – ONLY BLACK AND WHITE FILM.

Amazing Workshop

The analog photography workshop with Araiké was an amazing experience. Araiké is not only extremely knowledgeable and skilled but also incredibly kind and patient, making the entire learning process very enjoyable and inspiring. I learned so much during both the developing and printing sessions, and I had a lot of fun experimenting and creating my own prints. This workshop is a must for anyone interested in analog photography, whether you’re a beginner or more experienced. Thank you Araiké!

Great opportunity to dive into the analog photography

Taking this workshop was an idea which I had for quite a long time. After completing both of the days (divided in developing and printing) I can say that I kind of regret that I haven’t taken the initiative earlier. The workshop and Araiké himself are incredible. I would recommend every analog photographer who is interested in how to put their work on paper by themselves to give it a chance!

Wholesome workshop

I took Arake’s workshop, both for developing and printing and after I did both, I have to say that I am so happy that I found about this workshop and participated in. Araike is very knowledgeable and passionate about photography and I could see that he is also a passionated teacher who is willing to pass down his knowledge to his students with his pleasure.
It is a very precious and rare occasion where you can learn professionally how to develop and print one on one and this workshop is totally worth it or more than that.
Either you are a beginner or a professional photographer, I am sure that you can gain a lot of things from this workshop.
