Photography commenced in Black and White. Ever since it has been around and continues to be very popular amongst many photographers. What makes Black and White so amazing is that through monochromatic images, you can play with the contrast between light and dark to attract the eye, create geometric patterns and get incredible textures. Your images can be rough and smooth, emotional and impassive, simple and complex, Black and White.

In this seminar we will be learning some tips and tricks that will allow you to capture some amazing images in Black and White.
