BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY SERIES: LUMINOSITY AND PRESENCE

From the "LAKESHORES" Platinum Sequence

LUMINOSITY and PRESENCE in black and white images are very important, yet elusive, qualities. We are drawn to images that possess them because they seem to glow from within. Strong composition and the right exposure are the first ingredients Then seeing and interpreting the light and contrast in the scene is next. Usually we come to the final image by working with mid tone contrast in post production (Lightroom, ACR and/or Silver Efex)  to enhance the existing light with digital tools.
