Session One: Capturing Images for Black & White Conversion — Monday 7 September, 19:00 BST

Susanna explores seeing in black and white. How do you know a subject will make a good mono image? She covers how colours translate, the effects of light and contrast, a quick look at the Zone System, infrared black and white and practical tips as you start making your own.

She opens with something she has been researching specially for us: how our vision actually develops and why black and white turns out to be the base that colour is built on top of.

Session Two: Crafting B&W Images in the Digital Darkroom — Monday 5 October, 19:00 BST

Working in Photoshop, Susanna shares her favourite conversion techniques, basic and advanced, to make your black and white images radiate.

Session Three: Celebrate Your Black & White Images! — Monday 2 November, 17:00 GMT

A working evening using our own pictures. Bring something you have made if you would like to and Susanna will go through real images live, celebrating and giving thoughts on each one. Worth coming to even if you would rather just watch, because watching somebody work on a real photograph is usually where it clicks.
