Please join the Darkroom Masters of Culture for a celebratory premiere of their new ALL ARTS channel series “The Darkroom MCs”, which showcases some of the most important but often underrepresented photographers of our time. 

Under the safe light of the darkroom, Russell Frederick and Anderson Zaca invite photographers and artists to discuss printmaking, their mission, life journey, culture, social justice, business, current events, and how images shape the world.   

Frederick and Zaca will introduce the film series and screen an episode about long-time Brooklyn resident, esteemed photographer, President emeritus of Kamoinge Inc, founder and senior editor of the Black Photographer Annual book series, Beuford Smith. Born in 1941, this self-taught street photographer has been making photos since the ‘60s. In the darkroom, Mr. Smith discusses some of his greatest hits as a photographer, his approach, favorite film to photograph with and more. 

A panel discussion will follow the screening. View the trailer for the series here.  


Find “The Darkroom MCs” on the ALL ARTS site, app and YouTube channel. New episodes drop on Wednesdays at 6 p.m. EST beginning June 18.Visit YouTube.com/AllArtsTV and AllArts.org/DarkroomMCs
