Exhibition Night – “Black & White” January 2024
26 January 2024 @ 20:00 - 22:00
We start the year with one of the all-time classic themes in Photography – Black and white. And as it states, there should be no colour in your shot.
Many photographers perceive black and white as the classical form of photography, but with digital technology, it now becomes a dynamic and enjoyable pursuit whilst engaging your creativity. With black-and-white photography, there are no limitations of conveying reality as you have in colour images as shadows and shades of grey hold no reality. You can take your image file and, using the tools available in the digital darkroom, create something that reflects your interests, visual preferences, and emotions about a scene in a much different way than you can with a colour photograph.
Take some inspiration from some of the all-time great Black and White photographers – Henri Cartier Bresson, Ansel Adams, and Fan Ho to name just a few.
