Black and White Photography in NYC

14. January 2018

 

When doing Black and White Photography using Adobe Lightroom, I first make the photo looking good in color. Believe me, there will be a completely different result when starting to change the photo to Black and White from the very beginning of the workflow.

After I turned the photo into Black and White, I usually get back and play with the Contrast. Adding or removing contrast may add a little twist to the photo!

Another thing I do after I turned a photo into Black and White is playing with the darks. I make them darker. Why? It makes the white parts of the photos brighter. This is the second twist to add to a Black and White photo.

Sometimes, like in the two photographs that I used for this post, I add a color to get this almost Black and White result. I simply add in the “Split Toning” section of Adobe Lightroom a color in the highlights section and play with saturation till it feels good.

  • Do you want to learn photography?

    Do it with me and jump over to my store. There are several eBooks and presets I have been working on over the past few years – no kidding, it took me quite some time to make all this happen! And I am still working on it, there is more to come!
