Removing colour from a photograph can enhance its textures, emphasise the light, and simplify its message; however, in many cases, we take our photos because the colours call to us, and removing them can sometimes result in murky, muddy greyness.
In this presentation, Mieke will share some of the reasons why some photos “sing” in black and white, and why others don’t.
Through examples of her own work, she’ll show her RAW files, explain her thought process when considering converting the image to monochrome, show what it looks like when colour is removed, and then share the edited final versions where the tones have been shifted to create more powerful images.
Finally, she will share three different ways of creating strong Black and White images in Photoshop.
