Hey Guys,
In College we have been on the topic of black & white
photography. It is a very interesting topic. When deciding on a make up for a black
and white photo it’s not so much about the colours used but my about tonal value
they have i.e. how light or dark they will show up in the photo. For example
one the eyes you could use dark blue, dark green, brown or navy and they would
all show up similarly in a black & white photo. It’s all about the effect of
highlighting and contouring and the use of lighting. Natural white light is
usually best but it can be simulated with different light bulbs. It is a very flattering way of photographing
most people as it can hide a lot of imperfections and also black is more slimming
but it can take a bit of practice with highlighting and contouring. Heres how
it worked out for me.
What do you think??
Let me know if you give it a go
