Description

Working with black & white imagery requires a different way of thinking. Let's learn how that relates to modern photographic techniques! Though black & white has been around since the beginning of photography, working with black & white requires a different way of thinking about how light interacts with subjects and how we see the world differently in black & white than we do in color. Many photographers have not fully explored its creative potential. In this new class, we will dive deep into the subject of black & white photography and discuss nuances that make or break a great black & white photo. You will learn some of the classic concepts of working with black & white and see how they relate to modern photographic techniques. Some of the things you’ll learn (but are not limited to): - Difference between black & white and monochrome - Why do people shoot black & white - The psychology of black & white photography - Which types of images translate best to black & white - The difference between color contrast and tonal contrast - Black & White photography from the Harlem Renaissance era - The power of an intentional approach to black & white photography - Tips for shooting B&W digital in-camera - Tips for getting great black & white photos on an iPhone Some details about the class: Length of Program: 2 Hours A link to handouts will be sent to students prior to class.
