This week’s session will be about:

NATURALLY B&W

Naturally black and white photography celebrates the inherent contrasts, textures, the beauty found in the absence of color.

This theme relies on the play of light and shadow, emphasizing the subtle nuances that give depth and character to the subjects.

By focusing on form, composition, and the inherent grayscale tones, photographers unlock a visual language that exceeds the distraction of color, inviting viewers to appreciate the purity and simplicity of the B&W palette.

Whether capturing the elegance of nature, architectural details, or candid moments, the naturally black and white theme highlights the inherent artistry that exists within this classic and evocative style of photography.

Please submit your images as is and NOT converted to black and white - as in the example below.

Focus on form and contrast that will eventually create a compelling B&W image.

Registration is Now Closed. Please come back at 2:00 pm PST to register for next week’s session.
