Basics Photography: Post-Production Black & White

Steve MacLeod

Basics Photography: Post-Production Black & White examines the way in which black and white photographic images are captured and produced. The book comprises an in-depth exploration of post-production processes and how they can be used to push images from mediocre to breathtaking.

This book will guide the student through the basic stages of image processing and development, showing how to make amendments to black-and-white photographs – both before and after-print – and demonstrating many other techniques to produce black-and-white photographs of outstanding quality.

Basics Photography: Post-Production Black & White is illustrated with clear diagrams and inspirational images, making it a technical manual and a creative tool that no photographer should be without.
