ZOOM Photography Workshop Fundraiser

The Monochromatic Image - TIME TO STIR THE GRAY MATTER

Many of the greatest photographs ever taken were shot in black & white. Ansel Adams, Paul Strand, Walker Evans and Margaret Bourke-White were all masters of the color-free medium and their images are testimony to its inherent beauty and timeless qualities. While most of us now capture images in color, there is still a place in the world for black & white (or monochrome) imagery. In this Zoom workshop we will be taking the time to stir the gray matter and explore the creative visual possibilities of the monochromatic image. We begin with learning how to see in monochrome, then move through the technical aspects of transforming a color digital image into black and white. We explore subjects including  places, portraits, abstract, and landscape to help master your monochromatic vision. Bringing together the aesthetic and technical considerations for the monochromatic image will open a new vision for thoughtful and timeless image creation.


Workshop donation: $500.00 

Class will meet 9:30 - 11:30 am Mountain Time on Saturdays and Wednesdays starting March 11, 2023 and ending March 29, 2023 (six  - two hour online group sessions via Zoom).

AESTHETIC AND TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Portraits:

A classic and timeless look can be created by making portraits in black and white.

Abstract:

Any subject matter can be turned into an abstract image, especially when the color is taken out  of it.

Places:

There’s a whole range of images you can make when it comes to black & white photographs of  buildings, street scenes, and unique locations.

Landscapes:

Great monochrome landscapes aren’t simply a case of turning up and switching the color off. If anything, you need to work harder.
