Monochromatic imagery is deeply tied to the history of photography, and indeed some people only recognize photography as art if it is in black and white. However, in today's digital photography world, digital sensors "see" the world in color by capturing RGB data-even if the resulting exposure is converted in the camera or computer to monochrome.
This paradox gives rise to a new way of approaching black and white photography. How do we see monochromatically in a post-film world? What kinds of imagery work best in digital black and white? How should you prepare for photography if you know your work will be presented monochromatically?
In this webcast, master photographer Harold Davis, author of the best-selling Creative Black & White: Digital Photography Tips & Techniques examines the vision requires to create black & white photos in the digital era, and explains the craft involved in his monochromatic images. There will be ample time for Q&A.
