The Night in Black and White

While a great many night photos now appear in color, black and white was the original medium to capture the night’s beauty. Thankfully this enchanting medium is making a comeback.

Black and white imagery has always had an aura of timelessness, drama and sophistication. Using this scheme at night is no different. Since photographers shooting in monochrome cannot lean on color to provide the drama in any given scene, we are forced to concentrate on other building blocks to evoke emotion, to tell a story or to capture the drama.

Learning to capture and process images in black and white will add a dramatic dimension to your night photography.
