Chris Coffey
Seeing in Black and White
|
With digital technologies, it’s never been easier to make both
Black & White and Color images. Yet nothing can replace the
ability of the human eye and mind to see a compelling image.
This ability improves when you train the eye, brain and heart to
interpret the world on these terms. In this presentation, Chris
will talk about some of the things that work in Black & White as
well as some that don’t. |
