The Soul and Skills of Black and White Photography
The Soul and Skills of Black-and-white Photography I like black-and-white photography myself, and the purity and simplicity of black-and-white photos are the reasons why I can't put it down. But black-and-white photography doesn't just turn color photos into black and white, because not all pictures are suitable for black and white presentation. When shooting, please pay attention to the following points:
First, look for images with strong contrast or gradation.
Images with strong contrast between light and dark are generally suitable for black and white. In other words, in the world of black and white photography, capturing light and shadow is particularly important. Because when a photo loses its color, it becomes a stage of light and shadow.
Second, return to the root of photography-find out the points, lines and surfaces in the picture.
These are the three elements that make up this painting. Find out their relationship in the picture, such as their interaction, position and association, and arrange the position of these elements in the photo with appropriate composition.
Third, long exposure shooting.
Long exposure can blur the moving scene, make the picture simple and abstract, and add a little painting flavor to the photo. In most cases, long exposure combined with black-and-white shooting technology can achieve quite good results. Of course, some people think that photography and painting should not be confused, which is another matter. The photo at the beginning of the article was taken with a long exposure to blur the clouds.
Fourth, turn the photos with chaotic colors into black and white.
Sometimes, the color in the picture will drown the subject. At this time, you might as well convert the photo into black and white to make the subject stand out.
