Creating great-looking black and white images is about more than just removing colour via "desaturate", or moving a few sliders up and down with a black and white adjustment layer.
It's about light, and what you do with it.
There are many styles of black and white photography and what I'm teaching you in this course certainly fits within certain boundaries of taste and creativity. This isn't the only way to create black and white images, but if you like what you see here then I'll teach you the exact techniques and ideas you need to be able to apply this style to your own black and white photography.
Once you get past the first few videos in this course which give you the fundamental concepts, you might be surprised how relatively simple it is to replicate this style and subsequently adapt to make it your own.

Here's what you're learning in this course:
Learn my three favourite methods of converting your images to black and white for the ideal starting point for the rest of your editing (some work better than others depending on the type of photo)
Discover the shockingly simple tools and techniques in Photoshop (that you're probably already using for other purposes) that are the keystone of this style of fine-art black and white architectural images
Learn the counter-intuitive way to use a black and white version of an image to enhance the light in your colour images
Discover the most effective techniques for creating the best selections for your architectural B&W's (hint - this style is all about selective adjustments)
How to darken a sky fully (without losing detail) to create the perfect backdrop for your eye-popping architectural abstracts
These techniques will have you pushing the pixels pretty hard, which can lead to some issues along the edges (halos etc). Learn how to prevent those when possible and where not, how to repair and resolve them if they do appear (also useful for non-bw photos)
Discover how to create the "glossy" black and white look for your cityscape / architectural images
Learn how to give matte surfaces a unique glossy appearance that leaves people wondering how the heck you did it
How to manipulate light and contrast in new and exciting ways to add something a little more "creative" to your portfolio
