Fortunately, with the rise of digital photography at the beginning of the new century, black and white photography has become popular again. Although you now take photos in color as standard, it is easy to convert them to black and white afterwards.
Are your black and white photos boring and gray? That's a good reason to stick to color. An eternal shame, because a black-and-white photo can outshine color photos and become the eye-catcher of your work.
In this book, landscape photographer Nando Harmsen and portrait photographer Elja Trum will give you simple, practical tips that will help you take masterful black-and-white photos that stand out above the rest.
For example, you discover:
- How to set your camera so that you already know what your black and white photo will look like before you take the photo.
- What you need to do to take a masterful black and white photo, even if you know little about composition and visual elements.
- How to use filters for a specific black-and-white conversion and why it's usually best not to do so.
- How you can use the zone system developed by renowned black-and-white photographer Ansel Adams to create equally fantastic black and white photos.
- Why you should post-edit your black and white photos before showing them to others, and which edits are important.
With this book, professional landscape photographer Nando Harmsen and portrait photographer Elja Trum want to inspire you to enjoy taking beautiful black and white photos. Not with long technical stories, but with 101 practical and simple examples.
