Fascination Black & White Photography: Impact and Class

In today’s crowded, fanciful colored, digitized (social) media world, B&W imagery creates impact more than ever and has not lost its purpose at all. On the contrary! This style lets your work and vision stand out.

In this workbook, Dan Hostettler introduces his revived style of sexy B&W photography. Technically adapted for the digital era but yet based on the classic, visual, strong and lasting values that have been evolved over the past 170 years.

Dan’s hands-on method is a down to earth, practical, understandable look at B& W, without confusing technical jargon or excessive philosophy, it’s easily accessible.

You will learn the full creation process from idea findings, mood/story/look development, to camera settings & nifty hacks. You initially shoot in color – based on purposefully arranged lighting (= light/shadow character/quality) – and then follow Dan’s different, most comprehensive step-by-step conversion processes and strategies for classy and strong B& W imagery with tutorials for Photoshop, Lightroom, Plugins and other recommendations.

The practical part of the workbook is dedicated to four creative case studies, shot in Berlin with the wonderfully talented Canadian Art Nude Model Hanna – an austere beauty with raw emotions!
