Are you a photographer who would like to learn more about making black and white photos? Please join our introductory course on black and white digital photography. This course is open to photographers of all skill levels who use either a cell phone camera or a digital camera.

Some of the topics we will cover are a brief history of black and white photography and some of its giants, identifying the elements of a strong black and white photo and how to identify them in a color photo and on a photo shoot, global and local editing techniques, structures and shapes, shadows and silhouettes in black and white photos, portraits and more!

Format: Each class will have a short tutorial presented by the Coordinators on a selected topic. Participants will be expected to work on their photos outside of class and be prepared to discuss them in class for comments and feedback. A bibliography of books, articles and links will be provided for further study.

Resources/Expenses: No additional expenses are anticipated.
