There are many reasons why you might be interested in black and white photography. This branch of photography cannot be limited to a specific group. Different photographers may record and publish black and white photos in different branches of this field. I took the photo above in a small home studio. To take this photo, I used a 100 mm macro lens, a tripod, one flash and a Canon R5 camera. Taking such photos is almost difficult and time-consuming. Because the sheets of the book must be same on both sides. Of course, I tried very hard to make the sheets of the book same and similar on both sides, and I succeeded to some extent. On the other hand, I should have used a light pen. Because the weight of the pen causes the sheets to collapse. Lighting is one of the other issues that should be paid special attention to when preparing black and white photos. I converted this photo to black and white in Photoshop.
One of the reasons why black and white photos are so popular is that by removing the color from the photos, all that remains are the textures and shadows, which makes the viewer focus more on the subject. Apart from taking black and white photos with digital cameras, black and white photos can also be taken with different software such as Photoshop and Lightroom. It is you who can use these software to transform a color photo into a pale and lifeless black and white photo or into a unique and profound masterpiece. Today, black and white photography is considered a branch of photography that, along with other branches of photography in different fields, from portrait and landscape photography to social and child documentary photography, always attracts the eyes. Creating a beautiful black and white photo will also require a suitable subject. It would be very wrong to think that using a filter to turn a poorly taken photo into a black and white photo. For the most impressive black-and-white photos, shoot in high-contrast light. Simple composition can also add to the beauty of black and white photos. I think a big part of the process of black and white photography is post-processing. You need to convert your color images to black and white photos in post production! Of course, you can use Lightroom presets, which are the most popular features of this program, to make your photos black and white in this software.
