The RA4 process is a direct positive process where you get colored positives straight out of the camera. Color paper is used, which is actually negative paper for enlarging images from analog negatives. Through a special chemical process and filtering, however, you can get positives that are not completely neutral in color and therefore look very similar to old Polaroids. The nice thing about it is that you hold the paper image in your hands practically a few minutes after taking the picture.

There is a particular challenge in lighting and exposure due to the low sensitivity of the paper and the correct filtering to neutralize color casts. In this workshop we practice using the camera, filtering when taking pictures and developing the positives.

We practice taking portrait photos. At the end of the workshop, everyone can hold a photo they have taken themselves in their hands.
