She often directs her camera at family life\, including her Pennsylvania Dutc h in-laws’ clan in a series titled Pennsylvania In-Laws. In Still\, Stan ding\, a series begun in 2013\, she explores the Polish landscape that her grandparents left behind when they emigrated to the United States in the early 1920's.\n\nMarshall is the recipient of artist fellowships and spons orships through the New York Foundation for the Arts\, as well as grants a nd support from private foundations.

Taught by artist Chip Standifer\, this course demystifies the dar kroom process and gives participants the confidence to develop black and w hite film on their own.\n\nThe workshop is structured as three hours in th e morning and two hours in the afternoon\, with a break for lunch. In the morning session\, participants will cover the fundamentals of black and wh ite film\, including exposure considerations\, film types\, chemistry\, eq uipment\, and darkroom workflow. Chip will walk through each step of the d evelopment process\, explaining not just how to do it\, but why each step matters.\n\nAfter lunch\, participants will put theory into practice by de veloping their own first roll of black and white film. The afternoon sessi on focuses on hands-on learning\, troubleshooting common issues\, and best practices for consistency and archival results. By the end of the class\, participants will leave with a developed roll of film and a solid underst anding of how to repeat the process independently.\n\nThis workshop is ide al for beginners with little or no darkroom experience\, as well as digita l photographers curious about working with film.\n\nINSTRUCTOR: Chip Stand ifer\n\nAs a well-travelled but odd and disconnected child\, Chip Standife r was always a keen observer of people\, places and situations. At the age of 12\, he built a pinhole camera and discovered the delights of creating images\, developing film\, and the magic of photographic images emerging from the darkness.  Today\, when travelling the world for fast paced star tups\, he enjoys the meditative benefits of noticing the beauty everyone e lse misses as they hustle by.  His images have been juried into multiple shows at the Atlanta Photography Group\, the Photographer’s Eye Collecti ve\, The Houston Center for Photography\, the Photo Place Gallery\, the SO HO Photo Gallery\, the Southeastern Center for Photography\, the Atlanta A irport\, The 2025 Atlanta Art Fair\, The Marietta Cobb Art Museum\,  the John’s Creek Art Center\, The Fence Regional Show\, Slow Exposures\, The Montgomery Photo Festival\, The South By Southeast Gallery\, The Florida Museum of Photographic Arts\, The Madison-Morgan Cultural Center and the B uckhead Library.[/vc_column_text][us_separator size="small"][vc_column_tex t]Introduction to the Darkroom - Learning how to see and make pictures wit h your camera is one thing - learning how to make your photographs real by printing them is another artform\, entirely. To do so by hand is often lo oked at as something of a meditative\, alchemical\, and spiritual practice . Inthis Intro To Darkroom class\, you’ll be given the tools to immortal ize your images on silver gelatin paper through the classical means of bla ck and white photographic development.\n\nStudents will explore the relati onship between their film and paper of choice\, various chemistry\, contra st filters\, and proper darkroom etiquette. This course will be a hands on an immersive experience for beginners and returning analogue printers ali ke. Once complete\, students will have a fundamental understanding of dark room printing concepts as well as how to see and understand print worthy i mages before raising their camera to expose their film.\n\nChemistry will be provided.\n\nEach student should bring their own black and white negati ves and photosensitive paper to print with.\n\nClass will be limited to si x students.\n\nINSTRUCTOR: Quintavious Oliver\n\nQuintavius Oliver (b. 198 9 Atlanta\, Ga.) is an Atlanta based fine art and documentary photographer who uses his engaging and intimate portraits as a means for dynamic story telling. Acquiring his first camera at the age of six from his grandmother \, he immediately began to document his ever-expanding world. By his mid-2 0s the self-taught colorblind photographer was making waves in the photogr aphy community\, landing exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Atlanta and the Griffin Museum in Winchester\, MA - all while raising his daughter as a full-time single father. Quintavius spent much of his early career straddling the fence between his documentary-style photography in t he streets of Atlanta and making intimate portraits with friends\, explori ng sexuality\, fear\, joy\, and identity. His work would eventually expand to places like India and Cuba where he would explore life in the homes of individuals and families\, fostering a sense of global community through photography. Those photographs have since been awarded 1st place in the 20 25 International Photography Awards in Greece\, exhibitions at The Art Gal lery of Alberta\, Canada\, and even the permanent collections of The Museu m of Contemporary Art\, Houston TX and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Ga .

As part of our mission to support photographic artist s\, we feel it is important to offer a variety of options so that each art ist can find the group that is the best fit for them.  Not certain of the value?  Consider this:\n\n Feedback and Improvement: Constructive criti cism provides valuable insights that help artists see their work from diff erent perspectives. It highlights areas that need improvement and offers s uggestions for growth\, ultimately enhancing their skills and artistic vis ion.\n Learning and Development: Critique exposes artists to diverse view points and approaches\, allowing them to learn new techniques\, styles\, a nd concepts. Engaging with feedback fosters continuous learning and develo pment in their artistic journey.\n Self-reflection: Evaluative feedback p rompts artists to reflect on their own work critically. It encourages intr ospection\, enabling artists to understand their strengths and weaknesses better\, leading to more refined artistry.\n Building Resilience: Dealing with critique develops resilience and the ability to handle rejection or differing opinions. It strengthens an artist's confidence and prepares the m to face challenges in their career\, fostering growth both professionall y and personally.\n Community and Networking: Engaging in critique sessio ns or receiving feedback from fellow artists fosters a sense of community. It creates networking opportunities\, allowing artists to connect\, colla borate\, and learn from each other.\n Audience Perspective: Understanding how an audience perceives their work is crucial for artists. Critique pro vides insights into how their art is received\, helping them communicate t heir ideas more effectively and connect with their audience on a deeper le vel.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row width="full" height= "auto" disable_element="yes"][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\n\n\nGuest Mode rator for April 2026 - Matt Haffner\nMatt Haffner is a photo-based\, mixed media artist who works in a variety of materials.
