Black and white photography is more than simply removing color. A successful black and white image depends on light, contrast, tone, texture, and the relationships between elements in the photograph.

In this free webinar, we’ll explore how to recognize images with strong black and white potential and how to transform a color photograph into a compelling monochrome image.

We’ll look at what makes black and white photographs work, different approaches to converting an image to black and white, and a practical editing workflow for shaping tone, contrast, and local detail. Along the way, we’ll explore how selective adjustments can guide the viewer’s eye and help create greater depth and impact.

The demonstrations will use Adobe Photoshop, but the emphasis is on techniques and concepts rather than individual tools. The principles covered in the webinar can be applied in Lightroom, Affinity, and most other capable photo-editing applications.

Whether you are new to black and white photography or looking to strengthen your editing approach, this webinar will give you a practical foundation for creating more intentional and expressive black and white images.
