Have you ever converted a beautiful colour photograph to black and white, only to find it looks flat, grey and lifeless? You are not alone! Creating stunning monochrome images requires a completely different way of seeing the world.
 
In this comprehensive three part series, renowned landscape photographer Paul Gallagher takes you on a complete journey from capture to print. Across over four hours of world class tuition, Paul strips away the complicated jargon and shows you exactly how to create moody, ethereal and timeless black and white images.
 
What You Will Learn:
Part 1: Visualising the Landscape: Before you even touch your computer, you need to learn how to see in monochrome. Paul explains how to strip away the distraction of colour and look for shape, form, texture and contrast out in the field.
Part 2: The Digital Darkroom: Step inside Paul's editing workflow. Discover why green trees are actually 95 percent yellow to your computer, how to transform a raw file using just five simple sliders, and why the clarity slider should only ever be used as seasoning at the very end of your edit.
Part 3: Exploring Infrared Photography: For the grand finale, Paul takes us into the fascinating world of the invisible spectrum. Learn how he visualises, captures and processes his breathtaking, dreamlike infrared landscapes.
