Black and White Photography - Rediscovering the Art

Back in the olden days, all photography was black and white. For a long while, there was a good mix of colour and black and white photography whilst the use of colour developed. In this day and age, it’s predominantly a colour photography world, with the odd black and white photo thrown in for arty purposes.
If you are reading this, that means you are one of the arty few who want to rediscover the beauty of black and white photography - let’s delve in!

Black and white adds such depth to the photos. I will definitely incorporate more of this into my photography.

[@gpdoyon]

Great video! Thanks for reminding us about B&W/Monochrome. I forgot how much I love B&W photos as the "distraction" of color sometimes obscures the content.

[@theschoolofphotography]

You're welcome Gerry 👍

[@exjazzer]

GREAT JAZZ TOO.

[@TBGmario]

Your photo of the chick taking a photo was 🔥

[@thegroove2000]

Nice jazzy vibes goes well.

[@brucesmith9144]

I liked the one photographing the person taking a picture with their camera phone. That tells a nice story.

[@theschoolofphotography]

Thanks Bruce 👍

[@lordzid667]

it gives you another feel. amazing video.

[@theschoolofphotography]

Thanks 👍

[@bakermantube]

Very good and inspiring video, even though I take pictures in black and white very often. I also use a Olympus camera, the Pen-F. This camera is great in monochrome photography. Your photos are so creative. Very nice. I wish I could visit this fine museum one day. Thanks!

[@theschoolofphotography]

Thanks Andreas, you're welcome 👍

[@billkossmann9246]

Great tip regarding the Joby Gorillapod. Thanks for the video!

[@theschoolofphotography]

You're welcome 👍

[@Gater1377]

Great shots

[@cliffterpher]

Love them, Marc. The noise (grain) make them. I wonder what the pixel peepers would think 😄

[@RS-Amsterdam]

Nice shots.
B/W rules !!!
You should try a Leica monochrome (e.g. the Q mono, you will love it)
Thanks for sharing !!

[@theschoolofphotography]

Thanks 😊

[@thegroove2000]

Nice pics man.

[@sabinamohammed632]

Thank you for tutorial.....I am hoping to learn photography completely Tru your courses working on finances to pay for it but utilising your free videos until then...Happy my dreams coming tr.u..yayyy.

[@redsufer]

perfect music

[@RahulKumar-nh3wc]

Pictures you took are very Henri Cartier Bressonesque.
Amazing.

[@theschoolofphotography]

That's a great compliment, thanks a lot 👍😊

[@Teddy-ne3gd]

Very interesting, thank you.

[@theschoolofphotography]

You're welcome 👍

[@mikepearce4443]

Great video. Too many are quick to dismiss a b&w. I love a b & w photo; I've even used it on sunset shots. I now look at a frame before I shoot & think 'that's a black & white shot'.

[@theschoolofphotography]

Thanks Mike 👍

[@lonewolfphotography01]

Great video, I love black and white, unfortunately they don't seem to go down so well as colour

[@theschoolofphotography]

Cheers Geoff

[@gpm2564]

Is this a re-upload? I have deja vu 😀 Great video! Do you have a link to the tripod please?

[@theschoolofphotography]

No link I'm afraid but you can get them in all major camera stores. Thanks

[@kimhuot6949]

I am looking at your online courses. Does it matter what brand of camera I am using in the courses offered. I recently purchased a Fujifilm X-T3 and a Viltrox 33 mm lens. I really would like to learn how to use what I have with at least some profiency. Thank you!

[@theschoolofphotography]

Hi Kim, it doesn't matter what brand you have just make sure it has manual settings like said in the video

[@kimhuot6949]

@@theschoolofphotography Took the plunge today. Looking forward to the courses. Thank you!

[@theschoolofphotography]

@@kimhuot6949 Welcome aboard Kim 👍

[@lensman5762]

This is my exact set up for a variety of photography. I usually add a very high quality Polariser for landscape work. One thing that I do is to set ' Slot 1' to capture RAW and ' Slot 2 ' to capture a Monochrome jpeg, usually with the Super Fine setting. Great photography. I lked it very much. Thank you.

[@theschoolofphotography]

Thanks 👍

[@marcheathrow8930]

Lol no mini tripod,you could try a bean bag maybe.

[@theschoolofphotography]

😂😂

[@thegroove2000]

I have just noticed of late that my Lumix camera has some good-looking black and white filters built into the scenes so from tomorrow I'm going black and white with a touch of grain as I like it.

[@angelaatkins9057]

Do you need special permission to take photographs in the Tate modern?

[@theschoolofphotography]

Hi you can take pictures in the Tate and of the art work now.
