Explore new creative paths

There are two main ways to create black & white images.

The common method is to convert a color image in post-processing.

The game-changer is to shoot B&W straight into your camera. This helps you easily see those elusive images that only come alive in black & white.

You may even find that a combination of the two is what works best for you!

 

“This course defined and clarified so many things that I was trying to achieve with my images.”

The richly illustrated course material shows how to apply the concepts to your own photography.

Case studies include landscapes, architecture, food and lifestyle photography, and still life.

Each assignment offers you the choice to capture new images or to post-process photos from your archives.

“I just wanted to thank you for another wonderful class. I have to confess that each week when I read the new assignment, my first reaction was mild panic and a deep certainty that I would not be able to produce anything worthwhile that fit within the parameters you had set. But before I knew it, the ideas started to flow, and I quickly became obsessed (no, that isn’t too strong a word!) with exploring the possibilities. I can honestly say that the photos I produced in response to your assignments are among my favorites. Thanks for bringing out a creative side I didn’t know I had!”

Understanding Color

“Thank you so very much for this course! It’s allowed me to take the blinders off and present my images for what I want them to be without being a slave to the “reality” of the camera. I would also add that in conjunction with your printing course, this has been the most useful course I’ve ever taken. Your notes are more than comprehensive and your comments and critiques are direct, clear, and always directed to the improvement of the art.”

” I want to thank you for this class and for your patience and availability to answer all of my questions. I have learned very much through this class. I have used LR in the past, but mostly for editing images. I now have a better grasp in the organization of my images, an even better understanding of editing images, and an understanding of the value of presets. I still have a lot to learn, but this has put me on the road to be able to improve my photography. Again, thank you! ”
