Description

Veteran National Geographic photographer, photo editor, and filmmaker Richard Olsenius provides a compelling case for capturing the essence of people and landscapes through black and white photography, and shares his secrets to mastering the craft and the latest technology. This guidebook is as much about "how to visualize a story in black and white" as it is about the technical aspects of photography. Finding black and white in a world of kaleidoscopic colour, seeing the essential form, structure, or meaning in a subject, requires "a special way of seeing." The guide covers the advantages of different camera formats, lenses, and light filters for different types of photography. The goal is to aid new or developing photographers in choosing the best camera and equipment for achieving their objectives. A section on light and film provides tools and advice on how to use light and various films to provide a palette of tone and brightness in the final photographic image. A master printer in both colour and black and white, Olsenius provides numerous suggestions on both digital and darkroom techniques for printing the final image.
