Landscape Cityscape in Black & White with Ossian Lindholm

Landscape Cityscape in Black & White with Ossian Lindholm

Ansel Adams is quoted as saying “I can get a far greater sense of ‘color’ through a well-planned and executed black and white image than I have ever achieved with color photography.” While colors can balance a composition in color photography, many colors result in the same shade of gray in B&W and the photographer must see the scene creatively to make a successful B&W image. In both Landscape and Cityscape, B&W photography demands that we explore textures, shapes, shadows and illuminations, which evolve throughout the day as the light changes.
Photographers today have the option of editing the same photograph in color or B&W. While masters like Adams perfected their work in the dark room using techniques of dodging and burning, the digital photographer must learn how to use continually evolving software tools to achieve powerful visual results.
You'll learn so much and leave this full-day workshop with inspiring new insights to create memorable B&W images.
