Swipe for a lack of color 🎨
Editing images to be black and white can sometimes be a little tricky and tbh once I felt like I had a handle on color I never really felt like dipping back into black and white, but every now and then a photo sneaks up on me that just screams black and white.
Here are a few tips for editing your next black and white photo 👇🏻
🌈 Still think about color while you’re editing. Just because it’s called a black and white photo doesn’t mean those are the only two colors to consider. Each color has a tone which can be adjusted to bring depth, texture, or light into the edit.
🔥 Dodge and burn to add extra sauce to those places that need some extra attention. You can do this while editing in color too!
🌊 Pay extra attention to texture as those can completely change how the viewers eye flows through an image when flipped from color to black and white.
When was the last time you edited a photo to be black and white?
P.S. - I know I haven’t included a before slide in two weeks but I promise they are coming back next week!
