When deciding whether a final image should be presented in black and white, my criteria often come down to a single question: Does it elevate the visual and emotional impact of the subject compared to using color? Black and white photography, for me, is not merely an alternative aesthetic approach; instead, I turn to it to reveal and fulfill the deeper potential of the subject, sometimes transcending its literal appearance in color. In this class, I will delve deeply into how to seek and capture such potentials in the field, and how to continue elevating their visual and emotional impact during postprocessing. Whether you are an exploring beginner or an experienced photographer, this class aims to inspire you towards creating impactful black and white landscape images.
