Photography styles are always down topersonal taste, in my opinion. I respect that; people have different preferences, and in the same veinphotographers can’t please everybody. This also applies to black and white photos, which will be the focus of this article.I have clients who absolutely do not like black and white images, and clients who want a full set of black and white conversions.

And we’ve all done it, selective color, over saturation, vignette hell. Sometimes it take a while for our brain to realize that when a photo needs a change, it doe snot need a massive change, just the [...]

The world of camera lenses can be separated into two main groups: zooms and primes. Prime lenses are those which have a fixed focal length, meaning that they don’t zoom in and out. Once upon a time there were only primes. With the advent of zoom lenses photographers no longer had to rely on just their feet in order to get achieve the desired composition.
