Welcome to the Denver Darkroom
Founded: 1996
Founded by photographer and film maker, Standish Lawder, the Denver Darkroom is a non-profit teaching center for fine art photography. With classes and workshops ranging from Photo 101 to Advanced Photoshop to Photojournalism workshops, we have classes to meet every level of photographer and every aspect of photography.

While we are expanding our daytime classes, most of our classes are still held in the evenings or on weekends. All of the Denver Darkroom classes are small, very affordable and offer an informal friendly atmosphere. We offer both traditional film and digital photography with emphasis on fine arts. We want our students to walk away feeling not only have they learned something, but that they have been inspired to be better artists. Our faculty members are skilled teachers who are acknowledged as artists and dedicated to sharing their passion for photography.
