About the event
The Art of Turning Colour to Classic
Black-and-white photography is its own language. Separate from colour, it’s a poetry of light, tone, and texture. This workshop gives you the foundations and workflow for making striking monochrome images starting from colour or from black-and-white. And you’ll be able to use any editing software.
This session is a natural follow-on from the morning session: Image Enchantment.
Attendees who book for both will receive a $20 discount at the workshop.
What You’ll Learn:
- The essential principles behind great B&W conversion
- How colour channels influence grayscale tones
- Building a tonal foundation for impact and depth: Levels and Curves
- Practical order of operations for best quality and efficiency
- Dodging, burning, and local contrast control for subject emphasis
- Adapting your workflow for print, web, or archival
Why It’s Different:
This is app agnostic — no step-by-step tied to one program. Instead, you’ll gain a transferable skillset that works whether you edit in Lightroom, Capture One, Affinity, Photoshop, or anything else.
Ideal For:
- Photographers wanting to refine their monochrome work
- Colour shooters curious about B&W’s creative potential
- Anyone who wants a clear, repeatable workflow
