Creating a mood with black and white
Hello and welcome to Inspired, a weekly email for my paid subscribers. In this series I want to explore topics which I hope might spark some inspiration for your own photography. I will talk about my thought process for creating images, both in the field and in post processing. The posts will be linked in some way to the monthly challenges, hopefully giving you all lots of food for thought.
This week is the last week of the June black and white challenge and I wanted to discuss my thought process when it comes to removing the colour from my landscape images.
Most of my images are processed in colour. I love the soft subtle palette that summer brings and I find it hard to see the landscape without its technicolour glory. However I also really appreciate black and white images and I enjoy the range of options open to me when I am processing this way.
For me black and white has a versatility that colour doesn’t. A single shot can be two very different things in black and white each with their own mood and atmosphere and this is what I wanted to discuss in this post.
