Photographing Color for B&W with Digitial Cameras
One of the most captivating qualities of photos is the impressionistic quality of the medium, and this is more poignant and potent with B&W imagery (mainly because we don’t see monochromatically, so inherently we’re in an imaginary space). Yet in today’s digital age, pure monochromatic photographic work requires more than just switching a setting to “B&W.” There is an extensive amount of post-processing that you’ll need to do with a digital color image to get a quality B&W image.
