Exhibition Night – “Black & White”
1 October 2021 @ 19:00 - 21:30
As we leave the 2021 Summer behind, and we start to slowly get back into the swing of things, we’re happy to announce the Black and White theme is now upon us.
This is a classic theme that we all love and hope that many of you will take the opportunity to submit images.
Brief – Black and White
Entries for this theme will depict images that fall under the following description.
Black and white photography is the art of using different tones of grey, ranging from white to dark, to create compelling and impacting images. This genre has a very long history – as long as photography itself. Black and White images had been around for 35 years before the first colour image was captured in 1861. When shooting Black and White, you should always ask yourself, Why do I need to eliminate the colour from this subject? And also, What is the importance of shooting your subject in that manner?
When taking your photos, pay attention to the following key points in Black and White photography:
- Shadows
- Contrast
- Tones
- Shapes
- Texture
- Composition
- Emotions
