Ana Villarrubia Palacin

Hello Photosoc! My name is Ana and I would love to be this year's darkroom assistant :)

I started developing my own negatives over a year ago in this same darkroom. Over time I have refined the art of developing film and making prints, especially black and white. As a darkroom assistant, my main focus will be to support members in developing their skills and make sure that you can also learn as much as I did!

I will assist during developing, printing and scanning tutorials, helping guide people through the process. I will also take care of the darkroom—manage chemicals, ensure equipment is well-maintained, and keep the space organized for efficient use. I’ll make sure to prioritize sustainability and safety in handling materials.

My goal is to help create a collaborative, well-functioning darkroom where members feel comfortable learning and perfecting their craft! <3
