Publisher's summary
Black and white photography is considered by some to be more difficult than color photography, simply because color ceases to be an element in the finished product. However, it is still an element to be considered while shooting, because color affects what greys, whites, and blacks you get as a result. Black and white can make your photos much simpler, pared down to the basics. This can make photographs appear more serious or scary, or even take away considerations of decade or century. Photographs also need different development in post, as well as different considerations for grain.
Here's a preview of what you'll learn:
- Deciding whether or not to shoot in black and white: there is no right or wrong answer; they can be for aesthetic consideration or to make an image less distracting.
- Tonal differences and contrast: I explain why color is still important, because the color content of a scene will affect your tonal ranges.
- Being technically competent: This tip explains the usage of different ISOs and how black and white grain differs from color grain.
- Pay attention to the light: Light is very important in any photo, but here, it can help change the mood of a black and white photo very quickly.
- Texture: Texture becomes even more important in black and white photos than it does in color, because you have one less element to work with.
- Composition: Refer to this tip for a short refresher on the elements of composition, and how you can use them to make your photos stronger.
- Headshots: This tip explains the pros and cons of shooting headshots in black and white, as well as things to consider when doing so.
- Post Processing: Learn how to control your color channels and contrast in reference to black and white photos.
- Creating almost black and white photos: Learn how to purposefully create such images to delight viewers at their subtlety.

David Molnar was never supposed to be a professional photographer. Until the fateful day he almost died from a head on collision. While learning to walk again, photography became his escape and a form of therapy. But he found that turning pro in photography wasn't clear. There is no Bar exam for photography. He wished he had a mentor to show him the way. He struggled for a decade using trial and error before finding eventual success.

If you want to create interesting photos that will go above Instagram selfies and vacation memories, you need to switch to manual mode. You probably bought your first semi-professional or professional camera, but it looks so complicated. With all the buttons and switches, new cameras might look scary at the beginning. It’s easy to get overwhelmed. Auto mode is the safest bet, and it served you well up until now.

First published in 1973, this is a study of the force of photographic images, which are continually inserted between experience and reality. When anything can be photographed, and photography has destroyed the boundaries and definitions of art, a viewer can approach a photograph freely, with no expectations of discovering what it means. This collection of six lucid and invigorating essays, with the most famous being "In Plato's Cave", make up a deep exploration of how the image has affected society.

Story
Fresh off the success of her groundbreaking first play, A Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine Hansberry's The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window tells the tragicomic story of a young bohemian couple in New York's Greenwich Village, struggling to do what's right in a world that rewards everything that's wrong. Sidney is a dreamer who wants his own Walden Pond; Iris is a budding actress whose own backstory is a performance. They're caught in a moment where, "the world is about to crack right down the middle," as the play tackles racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, liberal complacency, and more.

Story
The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.

Story
In this brave and moving memoir, Corey Feldman is revealing the truth about what his life was like behind the scenes: His is a past that included physical, drug, and sexual abuse, a dysfunctional family from which he was emancipated at age fifteen, three high-profile arrests for drug possession, a nine-month stint in rehab, and a long, slow crawl back to the top of the box office.

Story
No one other than Warren Zanes, rocker and writer and friend, could author a book about Tom Petty that is as honest and evocative of Petty's music and the remarkable rock and roll history he and his band helped to write. Born in Gainesville, Florida, with more than a little hillbilly in his blood, Tom Petty was a Southern shit kicker, a kid without a whole lot of promise. Rock and roll made it otherwise.

Story
The New York Times best-selling biography of an American comedy legend. After three years of sobriety, Chris Farley's life was at its creative peak until a string of professional disappointments chased him back to drugs and alcohol. He fought hard against them, but it was a fight he would lose in December 1997. Farley's fans immediately drew parallels between his death and that of his idol, John Belushi. Without looking deeper, however, many failed to see that Farley was much more than just another Hollywood drug overdose. In this officially authorized oral history, Farley's friends and family remember his work and life.

Great review of principles
This very brief book is a simple to understand and excellent review of artistic principles, not just applicable to black and white photography. The one objection to the narration is that chiaroscuro should be pronounced with a long “o” at the end, not like the vowel in the word “do”. Chiaroscuro is also a subject worthy of more description and explanation. Perhaps another short book by this author?

Short and good
This is a concise article on B&W photography, just 35 min. It's a good listen at night or when ever you have a short amount of time to get a good overview on this art and technique. It's already helped me as a very amateur film photographer.

Great for new photographers
Is there anything you would change about this book?
As a digital photographer of 6+ years I will say that the info given in this book is relevant more towards analog photography. It's good to take in consideration the information when shooting digital photography. Some info may be a tad dated but still relevent. If youre an amature photographer, listen to his books. You'll never be done learning and even if you already have the knowledge its good to keep your mind fresh.
Was Black and White Photography worth the listening time?
sure
