Description

The genre of black & white photography is quite unique and can be intimidating to get started. However, once you learn the concepts behind it along with how to see in B&W, a whole new creative field opens up to you.

In this 3-part class, we'll have a Zoom presentation introducing theories behind B&W photography. Then we'll meet in the field to apply your knowledge and creativity. We'll end with the final portion, an online image review of your submissions.

Class Schedule:

Online presentation

Online Image Review

For the in the field photo shoot, we'll meet near the Washington Monument and capture moving images of the war memorials (including WWII, Vietnam & Vietnam Women’s Memorial, Korean War Memorial).

Their stories, architecture, and settings lend themselves to striking B&W imagery.
