The Workshop Black & White photography program & Location

This black and white photography workshop is a 3-hour session in the city center of Rotterdam.

Before the practical part in the city center, you will receive a PDF with information about black and white photography. A good way to prepare yourself for the upcoming workshop. This information will be put into practice. A photo walk has been tailored, putting you into the right places and positions to help you see the potential for black and white photographs. A nice mix of styles and types of photographs will be on the agenda.

After the workshop, you will get access to a 1-hour video tutorial about black and white photo editing. You can apply this to your own photographs and upload your results in our online photography platform. We will make sure you get a free account and instructions about how to upload the photos. Steven will review the photos and can give you additional tips.
