FCCP - Key Elements For Taking Powerful Black and White Photos

Must be paid member to RSVP class, see below.
May also pay at beginning of class

DOORS OPEN AT 845

Black and White photography was for over 125 years the only medium accepted by museums, major galleries and serious photography exhibits. In fact color photos were not displayed by a major museum until MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) exhibited the work of William Eggleston in the summer of 1976. Today B&W is often ignored by both amateurs and professionals alike.

This class will cover the basics for shooting B&W digital photos. It will cover the basic techniques for producing the superior B&W Raw file. This will include;

• Composition for B&W
• Use of Filters
• Exposure for B&W, including High ISO
• Nighttime B&W
• HDR for B&W
• and much more
