Alternative Photo Processes (Ages 15+ / Adults)
Explore camera-less photography through experimental image-making.
This course introduces participants to a range of alternative photographic processes, including the rich blue tones of cyanotypes, shadow-based black-and-white photograms, and phytograms—a process that uses plants as image-makers and developers.
Each session focuses on a different process, allowing participants to experiment with light, materials, and chemistry while discovering the shared techniques and distinct visual qualities of each method. All skill levels are welcome, with an emphasis on curiosity, experimentation, and play.
Meet the instructor
Kristiane Church is an artist and filmmaker whose practice centres the latent image through photography, filmmaking, installation, performance, and textiles. She is particularly interested in the tactile and ephemeral qualities of image-making, working across still and moving images with a strong focus on analog darkroom processes.
Her interest in textiles often intersects with her photographic work, using fabric as both image substrate and sculptural element. Kristiane holds a BFA from the University of Manitoba and has completed Apparel Design coursework at Red River College Polytechnic. She currently works as the Photography Technician at the School of Art, University of Manitoba, and is also a freelance cinematographer and contract artist with the Winnipeg Film Group.
