Black & white photography is more than a colour image minus the colour. Creating visually arresting and powerful B&W photos means understanding how to galvanize the use of light, contrast, shadow, texture, symmetry/asymmetry and other elements. Using your personal laptop with Adobe Lightroom Classic installed, you'll learn how to best manage your imported Raw image files, combine multiple images into one panoramic photo, merge multiple exposures into an amazing HDR photo and then use image editing tools and presets to create eye-grabbing B&W photographs. Using samples and your own photos, you’ll develop a unique image editing workflow designed to maximize your B&W artistic potential. Step-by-step editing instructions are provided in note form for each class, creating a reference guide to use upon course completion. A course ideal for the novice and not-so-novice photographer, you’ll come away with a robust image editing toolbox and a portfolio of B&W images ready for printing or posting online. Bring your laptop with Adobe Lightroom Classic installed.
