NOTES ON BLACK AND WHITE
Black and white photographs record the amount of light reflected off a subject as a linear tonal progression from white (maximum light reflected) to black (minimum light reflected). Colour records the wavelength of light reflected.
Freed from the mass of variables and surplus information presented to the eye by colour, black and white photographs emphasise composition, texture, tone,contrast and detail. This coincides neatly with the "onboard" editing process artists use when drawing or painting.
SLIPPING AWAY
Up against the rocks., perfect light, warmth, a quiet beach and a camera. Some of our best photographs came from this summer simmer on the beach.
