City in Black and White

City in Black and White

Saturday 25 April
Newcastle Upon Tyne - 2pm - 2 Hours
Newcastle Photography Group
Jenny Vest
Black and white photography forces us to simplify and focus purely on light, shadow, texture, and tonal contrast. In this session, we'll use the magnificent lines and details of Newcastle's Victorian architecture as our subject. You will learn to "see in monochrome"—understanding which scenes translate best without color—and how to use strong contrasts to create powerful, dramatic, and truly timeless images. Ideal for beginners eager to develop an eye for artistic composition.
