Book excerpt: "Saul Leiter's early black and white photographs are as innovative and challenging as his highly regarded early work in color. Breaking with the documentary tradition, Leiter responded to the dynamic street life of New York City with a spontaneity and openness that resulted in vibrant, impressionistic images that have the immediacy of an accomplished artist's sketch. With his unconventional framing and nuanced use of light, shadow and tone, Leiter created images with a lyrical subtlety like no other photographer of his era, and brought the same sensibility to his intimate and frank portrayals of family members and friends. Early Black and White shows the impressive range of Leiter's early photography."--Slipcase.

Download or read book The Art of Black White Photography written by Ryan D. Crane and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking pictures in black and white has always been a popular form of expression in the field of photography. For the beginner, they are a way to add a bit of classical flair to their photos, in an attempt to make more of a visual impact. For the professional, they present an opportunity to work in a medium that is different, and which makes for quite an adventure in itself, editing wise. While it may appear fairly simple to shoot in black and white, or monochrome, getting a result that actual titillates the mind and the imagination is quite complicated. There are a myriad of factors to consider when going full monochrome. The image format and how much editing flexibility it provides, the amount of contrast, from pitch black to snow white, in the photo, the textures, the shapes and the depth, are just some of the factors. The range of techniques that go into monochrome photography make it an art form that needs to be learnt in depth, before exploring further possibilities. Whether you are new to photography in general, or you haven't really explored the black and white realm, or even if you are experienced yet looking to do more in monochrome, this guide can benefit you to no end. Be it simply framing the photo, to advanced techniques such as editing monochromatic RAW, this guide has all the tips and tricks you need, to make an experience out of black and white photography. Remember that you may not have access to all the accessories, equipment and/or software mentioned in the book. If so, you can always look for an alternative to any of the aforementioned, but which functions similarly.
Download or read book Study in Black and White written by Tanya Sheehan and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2019-05-06 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, Tanya Sheehan takes humor seriously in order to trace how photographic comedy was used in America and transnationally to express evolving ideas about race, black emancipation, and civil rights in the mid-1800s and into the twentieth century. Sheehan employs a trove of understudied materials to write a new history of photography, one that encompasses the rise of the commercial portrait studio in the 1840s, the popularization of amateur photography around 1900, and the mass circulation of postcards and other photographic ephemera in the twentieth century. She examines the racial politics that shaped some of the most essential elements of the medium, from the negative-positive process to the convention of the photographic smile. The book also places historical discourses in relation to contemporary art that critiques racism through humor, including the work of Genevieve Grieves, Adrian Piper, Lorna Simpson, Kara Walker, and Fred Wilson. By treating racial humor about and within the photographic medium as complex social commentary, rather than a collectible curiosity, Study in Black and White enriches our understanding of photography in popular culture. Transhistorical and interdisciplinary, this book will be of vital interest to scholars of art history and visual studies, critical race studies, U.S. history, and African American studies.

Download or read book The Art of Black and White Photography written by Torsten Andreas Hoffmann and published by Rocky Nook, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-01-14 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few years, most books on photography have been focused on the new breed of cameras and how to master the digital imaging workflow. In The Art of Black and White Photography author and photographer Torsten Andreas Hoffmann takes a different approach, focusing on image composition and image capture, with an emphasis on the creative aspects of black and white photography rather than on the digital workflow. After introducing the ground rules of composition, Hoffmann illustrates their applications with his own stunning black and white images that cover various photographic genres, including architecture, street photography, portraiture, and surreal photography. Also discussed are the elements of a "photographic language"', which distinguishes creative photography from random shooting. Finally, you will learn valuable post-processing techniques, mostly using Photoshop, that emphasize the functions necessary for creating outstanding black and white images. This second edition has been updated to include Photoshop CS5, as well as brand new images, content, and a revised layout.

Download or read book Black White and Things written by Robert Frank and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containing photographs taken between 1948 and 1952, Black White and Things was in its original form a book hand-crafted by Robert Frank in 1952. Frank made three identical copies designed by Werner Zryd, each with spiral binding and original photographs. Printed for an exhibition at the National Gallery in Washington in 1994, Frank has now redesigned the book. Separated into three categories "black", "white", and "things", which are shaped more by mood than subject matter, the book traces Frank's travels to cities such as Paris, New York, Valencia and St. Louis. In the white section for instance, he brings photographs of vastly different motifs under a single aesthetic umbrella - his first wife reclining with their new-born baby, peasants squatting against a flaking wall in Peru, and a business man strolling past a snowdecked tree in London.
