Black And White Photography - What Subjects Are Best?
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "ARTICLE" @ 09:30 AM
"What Subjects are Good for Black And White Photography? - 1. Start with raw, natural materials, like rocks, metal to give you an understanding of form and texture. 2. Pay close attention to form, shading, pattern and tone. 3. Take note of how the contrast creates shapes, such as lines. These lines then create a feeling by either staying straight or bending or going away from view. 4. Feel the impact of the shapes make a pattern. 5. See how the texture of the subject creates the feeling and how shape with this texture gives the subject a new presence on your photo. 6. Look at the different shades of light work in with each other, and the relationship they have with each other, some against, some with, and how the dark aspects of light can work to enhance the photos feel."
