Enroll Now For Exclusive B&W Workshop October 30

Plan now to attend another Portland Photographers’ Forum Member Exclusive Workshop by Mark Fitzgerald:

Learn to See Differently with Black and White Photography

Saturday, October 30, 10am to 1pm, via Zoom

Though black & white has been around since the beginning of photography, many photographers have not fully explored its creative potential. Working with black & white requires a different way of thinking about how light interacts with subjects and how we see differently in black & white as opposed to color.

This new class dives deep into the subject of black & white photography. We will explore many of the nuances that make or break a great black & white photo. You will learn some of the classic concepts of working with black & white and see how they relate to modern photographic techniques. Subjects include but are not limited to:

· Difference between black & white and monochrome

· Why do people shoot black & white

· The psychology of black & white photography

· Which types of images translate best to black & white

· The difference between color contrast and tonal contrast

· Ansel Adams’ Zone System and how it applies to digital postproduction

· The power of an intentional approach to black & white photography

· Tips for shooting B&W digital in-camera

· Black & white editing techniques for Lightroom Classic and Adobe Camera Raw

· Tips for getting great black & white prints on Epson and Canon printers
