Welcome!

One of the great things about green(er) photography—no traditional photography can be completely green—is that it also tends to be cheaper! Used equipment is cheaper and more green that new. Replenishing chemicals is cheaper and more green than disposing of and getting fresh ones each time. Rinsing in water in place of stop bath is cheaper and more green as well. Of course, there’s more to it that just the few things I mentioned here, and we’re going to walk you through life as a green(er) photographer. This means talking about how to set up your own developing and printing facilities, looking into the business practices of film, paper and chemical producers, discussing the longstanding relationship between environmental awareness and photography and giving you a peek into how green photography practices function in our world at Oberlin College.
