Turn colour into classic
About the event
Black-and-white photography has its own lyrics. Distinct from colour, it’s a poetry rather than specification. This workshop gives you the tricks and workflow for making striking monochrome images starting from your colour originals. And you’ll be able to use any editing software.
What you’ll learn
- The essential principles behind great B&W conversion
- How colour channels influence greyscale 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 — you won't be 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.
