Photography black and white a quick review #BW
We live in a colorful world. Unfortunately, color can keep you from the essence of a great photo - texture, contrast of tones, shapes, patterns, and lighting. To master the art of black and white photography, you need to learn to balance all the elements above to create a memorable image :
100Why to choose black and white when the color is there? What does a black and white image do not? The photographic genre that has been more than two hundred years old, for many reasons, is still popular today. In addition to the rich history and lasting quality, there is much more that black and white photography offers.
Back to the Beginning In the mid-1820s, Nicephore Niepce a French inventor, managed to combine the workings of obscura cameras with substances that change when exposed to light to create the first camera image: yes, that's how he finds photography. However, the term 'photography' was the creation of Sir John Herschel in 1839, which later became the year of the birth of practical photography.
During the Industrial Revolution, the demand for portraits among the middle class increased, and photography grew very rapidly (demand surge can not be fulfilled through volume or cost through oil painting).
So, the first hundred years of photography were carved in monochrome. Color photography was also developed by inventors and physicists of the day. However, at the beginning of its birth, color film processing and printing is very expensive with a quality that is often disappointing.
It was only in the 1970s that color photography became popular thanks to the discovery of better color films and more affordable photo processing. Furthermore, the media world becomes colorful. The development that makes black and white films declined sharply. Luckily, the colorful world, though very sedative, does not necessarily kill black and white photography. Monochrome style is still interesting and the last few years more and more favored by many famous photographers. But what exactly is the appeal of black and white photography?
ISO 100Intensity VisualAksen color can distract viewers from the subject of images if the accented object is not main subject. Black and white photos discard any color and any emotional context that has anything to do with the main subject. By removing the color, black and white photography highlights certain details in compositions that are often obscured by color. Drama can be emphasized through stronger contrasts and heavier vignettes, and creates more effective visual statements.
ISO 800 Educational Idea to understand photography completely. Black and white helps people learn the concepts of detail and shadows detail, adjusts the contrast of the image, determines the film's latitude and exposure, and captures the right tone range (wider for sharper contrast, or narrower for a more limited area between the darkest and darkest values)
ISO 200 Black-WhiteRomantismeOrang said black-and-white photographs produce perpetual images that remind us of the past. Black and white is also the right medium to express an idea when time is not something important in a photograph. For example, color helps us judge time - the leaves are red and yellow meaning autumn and the golden light in the sky means early morning and dusk by night. Throwing colors frees pictures from time. In addition, we generally do not see anything in black and white only (Akromatopsia). That means, the interpretation of the world in monochrome makes it even more interesting to see. We also pause for a closer look, and direct our attention to the lines, shapes, and illumination in the image.
ISO 200What is a photo theme, wedding, road, or hilly scenery, there are monochrome treatments. Always consider the following reasons before taking a black and white photo. Will the photos look immortal? Will the photos direct the viewer's view to the subject? Will photos always be remembered? Considering all of the above reasons, photographers can get more through black and white photography. "When you photograph people with color cameras, what do you take pictures of people with black cameras cameras You take the picture is their soul!"
Thankyou very much 🙏
