Black and White Photography

Black & White Imagery, sophisticated and thought provoking...

Black and White Imagery

Black and White Photography, Timeless

A)Black and White images provide viewers with an image of timelessness with a journalistic feel.
B) An image is a window that opens viewers eyes to the moments we as photographers capture and experience.
Black and White Imagery give us a clear way to provide the viewer with a more sophisticated quiet, that tells the story differently.
C ) How we present that moment, or a series of moments, is the photographers responsibility to tell the story, evoke a feeling, and provide viewers with undistracted information about the subject.
Knowing how to capture images with those three ideas in mind requires a whole thought process and spontaneity from the photographer to become second nature to be able to react with camera in hand.

The Digital Darkroom of Black and White

Workshops discuss digital capture, then hands on in the field by creating photos together. We work with clients to try to see an image in black and white before shooting the photo. Attention to exposure, contrast, filters, Lightroom - the digital darkroom/Computer are all covered.
Classes are scheduled individually, and in groups up to 4. Private Workshops are the most popular as all the attention is focused on the individual and their learning experience.  Individual attendees wanting classes or full days.

Black and White Images Tell Stories

Our tools are a part of us, and as image makers, just like our eyes are a part of us, so are our cameras.
Black and white images capture our attention because color must be imagined on a subliminal level. Black and White imagery tells a different story as an image must stand on it's own, allowing the inherent drama to unfold while opening the windows to our experiences or stories. Our most famous photographers have captured the beauty in black and white imaging.
In this workshop we get in the digital and technological aspects of black and white, tonal values of black and white and the psychological aspects of perception in black and white.

Your Eye, Intuitive Vision and Technology

Black and White Photography requires your eye, your intuitive vision, and the computer. Particular attention for Individuals is focused on where you are now with your photo skills, and how to bring your abilities to the "next level." Based on your Photography goals and what you want, we figure out how to get you there through shooting exercises and assignments.
Please call today to reserve your place in one of our Black and White Workshops or classes. If you are wanting to combine several areas of photography study as mentioned, with your ideas, we can do that as well. Please inquire, Thank you.

Snapping Photos or Creating Images?

Are we snapping photos or creating images? With Instagram and Facebook inherently everyone is a kind of journalist - yet many an image is a snapshot.
The difference however in a good image maker and a snapshot maker is our methodology and care we take to understand the image and the process to create a fine image and the equipment we use.

Much Goes Into Black and White Photography

Do you want to create a great better black and white images?

There is a lot more to black and white than changing an image in Photoshop or light room. We go over it in these classes or workshops

Black and White Tells stories Differently than Color Photography

Black and white imagery brings emotion...

Which is why journalism was so powerful in the days of Life Magazine and our Sophisticated Imagery of today. Black and White tells stories differently then colorful imagery.

This holds true today in the images we create now and for the endless stories told by so many Journalistic image makers, so many digital cameras...

Prepare Your Photography Gear and Yourself...

Attendees should have a Camera, with lenses, laptop or home computer and software which we can discuss before the workshop/class. We will go shoot photographs. It's recommended to wear something comfortable, weather appropriate and closed toe shoes or sneakers.
