Top Tips

Here’s a quick recap of ways to make your black-and-white images more artistic

1 THERE ARE NO RULES

Black and white isn’t real-world, so your images don’t have to be realistic – once that idea sinks in, you can really let your creative juices flow.

2 BE BOLD

There’s nothing worse than flat, dull black-and-white images. Don’t be afraid of blown highlights, blocked shadows, noise and high contrast.

3 USE YOUR IMAGINATION

Be inspired by your own thoughts, ideas and dreams – it doesn’t matter where your inspiration comes from if it results in great images.
