Learn the what, why, when, and how of making black-and-white photographs through brief, focused presentations, facilitated discussion, hands-on assignments, and weekly reviews of your photos. Students will learn how to create black-and-white images with their own cameras (digital or smartphone), or by converting color images with techniques using suggested post-processing software. We will explore how the light, shadow, and texture of the black-and-white medium can be used to convey strong emotional and narrative content.
