Description
Black and white photography can look simple at first, but getting it right is a completely different story. Without color doing part of the work for you, things like light, contrast, shapes, shadows, texture, and composition become so much more important.
In this video, we are going through everything you need to know to take better black and white photos, from what to look for while you are actually out shooting to camera settings, working with light and shadows, choosing the right scenes, composition, and finally editing your photos afterwards.
We also get into some of the smaller techniques that can make a very big difference, and I will show plenty of real photo examples along the way so you can actually see what I’m talking about.
Whether you are already shooting black and white regularly or you have never really known when a photo should be black and white, this video should give you plenty of things to try the next time you head out with your camera.
And trust me, black&white photography is one photography genre every photographer should master!
Enjoy watching the video ;)
