Class Description

Description

From start to finish, learn how to create powerful and emotive black and white images. We begin with a general discussion and presentation of black and white photography; what type of images work best for this, how to visualize good BW when capturing images, and more.

Using the Lightroom Develop module and Nik Software, Lewis will discuss and demonstrate editing options for black and white images.

We will also discuss a project of having students create a body of work during the course.

Topics Covered:

  • How to pre-visualize images for later B&W conversion. What makes a good Black and White image. How to choose photos in your image collection that will benefit from monochrome conversion. How monochrome images can be used to portray certain moods and feelings.
  • BW Editing - Creating Virtual Copies to work on. How to set white points and black points. How best to use the Lightroom presets and profiles. Using additional LR tools such as the adjustment brush, radial filter, color channels and others to create stunning black and white images.
  • Student Project - Students will be encouraged to create and present a personal body of work, discuss their emotional connection to it, and to receive comments from the other students as well as the instructor.

Prerequisite: Students should have a basic working knowledge of the Lightroom Classic Develop Module.
