how to use black and white

Why choose to add black and white to a photo? Black and white is the perfect choice in many ways, it adds timelessness to the photo, it makes the photo interesting, it emphasizes the depthin the photo, it heightens the emotional content and makes the photo look crisp and clean.


TIP 1:
The first tip I want to share with you is when in doubt, take the picture!

























TIP 2:
DO YOU WANT TO TRANSFORM A BRIGHT AND SUNNY PHOTO INTO A TRUE MASTERPIECE?




Adding black and white to this picture adds an overcast and stormy sort of look, it was actually taken in sunny California! To me it even looks like a hurricane/large storm is going to begin! It also adds depth to the picture.

TIP 3:
BLACK AND WHITE ADDS EMOTION
To add emotions to a picture add black and white! If you have an emotional or sad picture, adding black and white to it makes the emotion more visible and moving.

Black and white also has a very touching effect when the subject is babies or children, it adds a certain, je ne sais quoi.
