The question I get asked a lot regarding black and white photography is, should I shoot in black and white in the camera or should I shoot in colour and convert to black and white in post-production? My answer is always the same – shoot in colour and convert to black and white in post-production.

Start with a low ISO As we know, however, using a high ISO when shooting digitally will result in noise, especially in the shadows. Because shadows are essential in black and white photography, you want to keep them as deep and clear as possible, so start with ISO 100 and go up only if you must.

Black and white photography refers to photographs created using different tones of gray, ranging from white to dark. B&W photographs are a beautiful, artistic form of photography that has a long history. There was a time when all photography was black and white.
