Traditional Darkroom Photography : Hipsters in the Darkroom

In these digital days of Hipstamatic and Instagram, and any number of photography related apps, the world wide web is inundated with hipster shutterbugs and their galleries of enhanced, or filtered photos. So much so, that many people forget the traditional roots that these digital effects spawned from and the mastery so many still practice.

These analog professionals still practice their craft in the darkrooms far from the digital reaches of the app effected trends that tend to rule the social media scenes so many of us populate these days. Today we pay homage to those heroes of traditional photography, often mistaken for hipsters digitally capturing their days on their various mobile devices, with a showcase of art wrought from the darkroom trays and stop baths.

Enter the darkroom and see the amazing effects that these pros can wrangle that still rival their digital counterparts in spades. And stop by the resources gathered at the end for your own darkroom setup tips. Enjoy!
