Week of April 30
Photrio Symposium
The countdown is on!
The Photrio Symposium is just over a week away!

Bob, Carissa and Sean from Photrio are very excited to present this educational opportunity to the Toronto photographic community, especially during CONTACT.

You can help us in a few ways, either by attending, or helping spread the word to your network. We wish to continue to provide events such as this, and need the community to participate.
Connecting is what we do, and we hope that while attending a workshop, reception or lectures, you will meet new people that will help you on your journey.

Printing Workshops
Alternative Photo Services

The Photrio Symposium has partnered with Alternative Photo Services to provide a range of printing workshops.

Tintypes with Horst Herget

Horst will take participants through a hands-on wet plate workshop examining the entire workflow. There will be an overview of chemistry, lighting solutions, and special considerations of this photographic process.


Silver with Stephen McNeill

In this workshop, Stef will share his print-making skills and revisit an old darkroom technique - commonly referred to as a Photogram - by creating a black and white print without the use of a camera or film. He will also guide the participants through the gelatin silver process and demonstrate how to properly setup exposures from a negative to produce exhibition-worthy prints.

Gum Bichromate with Bob Carnie

Bob will be leading a workshop where each participant will make a duo tone gum print from pre existing negatives. This workshop will show the ease and beauty of the duo tone gum process with single negatives
