While the art of photography continues to develop with new technologies and colour capture, the classic aesthetic of black and white photos continues to be a major current of the form. Monochrome images tend to have a distinctive atmosphere, with the emphasis on light and dark, composition and mood.

This post brings together 30 examples of the amazing possibilities of black and white photography, beautiful images to amaze and inspire.

1. Canyon de Chelly, View of Valley from Mountain, 1941 (Ansel Adams)

Ansel Adams was a master of black and white photography, best known for his landscape images of the American West, which reflected his environmentalist sensibilities. This dramatic scene shows a view of Canyon de Chelly in Arizona, taken by Adams in 1941.

2. Elephant with Exploding Dust (Nick Brandt)

Nick Brandt’s photography concentrates on the animals and land of Africa, an attempt to record the wildlife before it disappears completely. In his black and white images of elephants he captures the weight and power of the animals as they interact with their natural habitat.

3. Single Teared Emotion (Megyarsh)

This black and white shot reveals the complexion of the model’s skin in amazing detail, and the crisp shine of the tear about roll down her cheek. The photographer made the image using an Olympus SP350 digital camera.

4. Commuters in Train Station, Chicago, 1949 (Stanley Kubrick)

In addition to his work in film, American director Stanley Kubrick was also a notable photographer, working for Look magazine in the late 1940s. This evocative image of commuters at a train station formed part of an assignment to record the city of Chicago for the magazine, which Kubrick carried out in 1949.

5. A Portrait in Darkness (Sean McGrath)

Photographer Sean McGrath took this moody portrait using his Nikon D80 digital camera.

6. Fashion Model Underwater in Dolphin Tank, Marineland, Florida, 1939 (Toni Frissell)

Fashion and portrait photographer Toni Frissell conducted a long-running series of images of models underwater, such as this exquisite picture of a woman in a dolphin tank at Marineland in Florida, taken in 1939.

7. Leeds Corn Exchange (Paul Stevenson)

Paul Stevenson’s magnificent architectural shot captures the restored Victorian interior of Leeds Corn Exchange with its vast domed ceiling.

8. Whirl and Reach Out (Procsilas)

This image shows another amazing piece of 19th Century architecture, the spiral staircase of the Phare des Baleines Lighthouse on France’s west coast. The coiling perspective was captured by pointing the camera from the floor below the 257 steps that lead to the tower’s viewing gallery and light at the top.

9. Tree in Mist (Per Ola Wiberg)

Per Ola Wiberg’s atmospheric monochromatic shot shows a landscape on the Swedish island of Ekero, the scene shrouded in autumnal morning mist.

10. Yoyogi National Stadium (Guwashi999)

This image shows Japan’s Yoyogi National Stadium in Tokyo, rendered with the high dynamic range (HDR) process. HDR emphasises the differences in tonality between areas of light and dark, and is particularly effective with black and white images, as we see in this picture with its brooding sky and luminous highlights.

11. Old Man’s Sheep (Kris Haamer)

Photographer Kris Haamer’s captured this shot at Ihasalu, a small coastal village in northern Estonia. The black and white tonality adds to the timeless, rustic quality of the scene.

12. Running through the Gate of Golkonda Fort, Hyderabad (Sukanto Debnath)

This image by Sukanto Debnath shows children dashing through the gates of an Indian fortress, with their blurred movement contrasting nicely with the stillness and detail of the citadel’s gates.

13. Statue at Pere Lachaise Graveyard in Paris (Shadowgate)

There’s a haunting beauty to this statue, found in Paris’s Pere Lachaise graveyard and captured in stark black and white tones.

14. A Change of Scenery (Kevin Dooley)

Photographer Kevin Dooley used his Canon PowerShot G7 camera to capture in fine detail the billowing forms of clouds high above Arizona in this amazing aerial shot.

15. Kids (Esyckr)

There’s a curious quality of light, heightened by the monochrome tonality, in this image of the church of Saint-Etienne-du-Mont in Paris.

16. Heaton Hall Heaton Park Manchester Folly (Waka Jawaka)

This is another local landmark building shot from an unusual angle, in this case the temple in Manchester’s Heaton Park. The sweep of the gravel bathed in light, the detail of the rotunda’s Tuscan columns combine with the dark drama of the stormy sky to striking effect.

17. Recession (Mugley)

In this image, the sharp angles of the Eureka Tower in Melbourne are nicely contrasted against the streaks and fluffs of the clouds above.

18. Barcelona (Bert K)

This image of a Barcelona cloisters has an elegant geometry in the perspective of the arches, shadows and sharp areas of sunlight.

19. Silver Print 14 (Mr Gilles)

This stylish black and white picture carries a suggestion of narrative in the interaction of its simple elements.

20. Tall and Short (Ben Sonkua)

Ben Sonkua’s shot, taken using a Canon EOS 40D in a park in Toronto, features a beautiful pairing of a solitary bench and symmetrically shaped tree.

21. Wings (Frielp)

This action shot captures the detail of the gull in flight with remarkable detail, the sunlight picking out highlights across the bird’s wingtips.

22. Lounging at Boo Bradley’s (Avhell)

This bar room interior was taken using an Olympus E-P1 during a beer festival in the US city of Mobile, Alabama.

23. Clevedon Pier (Me’nthedogs)

The sepia-like quality in this long-exposure digital photograph, combined with the elegant Victorian architecture, lends the image a distinctive old-world feel. The structure is Clevedon Pier in the Bristol Channel.

24. Israel / West Bank / Occupied Territories (Antifluor)

The photographer perfectly captured this moment in time, a boy gleefully leaping through the air, recorded in glorious black and white.

25. Power (Krypty ZA)

This amazing image was made using a very long exposure on a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, with a wide-angle lens and black and white filter, to capture the stillness of the power plant’s chimneys and the wispy movement of the steam and clouds.

26. Atacando a la iglesia (Zyllan)

In this cleverly composed image the photographer has juxtaposed the spire of St Clement Danes Church in London with an adjacent statue on the Gladstone Memorial, with the tonal pattern across the picture adding to the sense of drama.

27. Hey You! (Calmtwood)

A high-aperture setting on a Canon EOS 400D camera allowed the photographer to capture this delicately detailed study of a baby’s foot.

28. Angela (Tiago Ribeiro)

Tiago Ribeiro’s beautiful black and white portrait balances crisply focused detail on the model’s face with brilliantly handled areas of ‘bokeh’ blur across the background.

29. Laughing Horse (Pdam2)

The photographer used an Olympus Zuiko digital camera to capture this charming equine portrait.

30. Curled (Brunkfordbraun)

This superb macro shot of unusually curled petals of a flower’s petals is made all the more effective by its delicate monochrome tonality. This image, along with all those we have seen in this post, demonstrates the stunning possibilities of black and white photography.

When people look through my photography, they often ask what I do in my post processing to achieve the subtle exaggerated shadows to result in somewhat dramatic / ‘epic’ and overall better looking picture…

The process itself, is relatively simple and from it you can build to create really good looking photos which do not look over worked like the trigger happy HDR stuff we see these days.

Today we take this image of the University College of London and apply a a few simple techniques to sharpen and exaggerate shadows and contrast!

Whilst going through my RSS reader, I came across this amazing achievement of tech and photography via Photography Blog. An amazing 70 Gigapixel 360° panoramic photograph of Budapest.

The photograph was taken from a 100-year-old observation tower built on the highest point of Budapest, the stitched panorama is over 590,000 pixels wide by nearly 121,000 pixels tall. The young Hungarian photographers used two Sony A900 bodies – each outfitted with a Minolta AF 400mm f/4.5 APO G lens and 1.4x teleconverter – on a sturdy tripod complete with a custom-designed robotic head. The image capturing stage of the project took over three hours to finish. The source images were then stitched with Autopano Giga software  and this process took two full days and resulted in a 200GB file!!

The shapes of the buildings that cut into the sky define a large part of a city’s character and culture. Some cities compete for bigger and taller towers to represent their financial and political power; others strive to preserve elegant and historic skylines against over-development. This post collects 25 examples of beautiful cityscape photography from around the world, visual records of human endeavour and urban achievement.

1. Hong Kong, China

I found a number of old photos and after scanning them in – they had a grainy finish and had lost the punch and impact they once had. So I devised this little process to give them their punch back! Hopefully its of use to yourself. You can follow along with the screenshots or just watch the video.

Duplication

Ok, you are going to begin by duplicating the layer containing your photo. You can do this by selecting the layer with the original photo and hitting COMMAND / (CTRL) + J or by right-clicking the layer and navigating to ‘Duplicate Layer’. Repeat this step twice. Following this, you need to re-name the layers for good organisation.

Apply ‘Diffuse Filter’

Now, with the first of the duplicated layers selected ‘diffused smoothness’ you are going to navigate to Filter –> Stylize –> Diffuse and yur going to select Anisotropic. Hit OK. This is a trick that I sometimes use instead of Photoshop’s Reduce Noise filter if the grain is too extensive.

Apply ‘High Pass’

Now, with the second of the duplicated layers selected ‘high pass’ you are going to navigate to Filter –> Other –> High Pass. As you move the slider from left to right you will notice the filter picks up or dops more or less lines respectively. You need t experiment and see what value picks up the most lines in your image. For this image I decided 6.4

Set Blending Modes To Soft Light

Now, to finish up and complete the effect – you are going to set both layers blending mode to Soft Light. If you wish for certain images it may look nice to decrease the opacity of the layers ever so slightly, experimenting with different looks. So there we are – you should have now a slightly sharer punchier photo!

Below, is the video of myself doing this:

This is a fairly ‘intermediate’ tutorial, although most beginners will be able to follow along with the video. It’s a neat little tutorial packed full of lots of little gems and tricks which we use in order to arrive the result; which is a much more stylistic portrait, that’s a lot more emotive and also has greater depth. The change is supposed to be subtle and thus its an effect your likely to use a lot more often than some of the tutorials floating around. Hope you enjoy! and its of use! Don’t hesitate to drop a comment below…

You can download the stock image of our boring chap here: STOCK IMAGE

Lets begin!

Follow step by step below or watch Video of the tutorial

To begin with we want to secure an original copy of our stock image using the ‘padlock’. Now duplicate this layer 3 times. Name the layers ‘desaturated, black and white glow and sharpening’ : this should give a clue as to what we are going to do to each layer.

Now you want to turn of visibility by clicking the ‘eye’ icon on the bland white glow layer and the sharpening layer. Select the desaturated layer and then hit at the same time COMMAND+SHIFT+U or for windows substiture COMMAND with CTRL. Then set the desaturated layer’s blending mode to Multiply. You hsould notice this creates a nice shadowy effect to the image.

Turn off the visibility on the desaturated layer and now make the sharpening layer visible. Navigate to Filter -> Other -> High Pass . You should see the below. Moving the slider makes the filetr pick up more or less lines. Play with this until you find a sweet spot. For this image I decided upon 21.5

It might look weird once you click’OK’ – the key is to change this layer’s blending mode to  Overlay and you should immediately see an increase in the sharpness of the image. This is a neat little trick for sharpening up images it’s at times are much better option than some of Photoshop’s standard sharpening tools. A great little process to run before taking photos to print.

Now you want to select the black and white glow layer as we want to create an adjustment layer above it. At the bottom of the layer panel click the circular icon for adjustment/fill layers and select Black and White.

The purpose of this step is to create a base for us to build up upon with the the subtle touches to the image. The aim at this stage is to try and make much of the facial skin white but to bring out many of the facial features and emphasise them (e.g bags under eyes / iris / white of eye / shoulder blades / mouth / forehead lines). This will serve the final effect and feel. In the adjustment layer settings if your following this verbatim – you can enter the same settings – if you are being adventurous, experiment with the slider until you receive the desired effect.

Once you’ve configured the adjustment layer  – hold shift and select the adjustment layer + the black and white glow layer. With them both selected hit COMMAND+E . This will merge them. Alternatively, you can right click and select ‘merge down.’ after this re-name the layer ‘Black and White Glow. Re-arrange your current layers in the order below and insert 3 new layers above the sharpening layer.

Here is another neat little technique. We want to fill each layer with 50% Gray. Select it and hit SHIFT+F5 and then choose 50% Gray.

Following this we then want to name the layers for the part of the image we will edit using them and then set all 3 layer’s blending mode to overlay. The 50% Gray will seem to disappear. Then select the Burn Tool as shown below.

We are going to touch up the mouth first and we will begin with a smaller hard-brush. We also want to begin using ‘Midtones’ at a low exposure. As we apply the effect below we are going to switch back to these settings and increase exposure / brush size/ brush weight to achieve the subtle effect. bit by bit.

Using the burn tool and different setting , with the mouth layer selected. We want to gradually emphasie the cracks / gap in the lips . The key is subtlety.

Repeat the same process on the forehead with a slightly larger and slightly softer brush. We want to gradually emphasie the lines across the brow . Once again, the key is subtlety. It is almost unnoticeable but when all these are combined there is a clear difference in mood etc.

Repeat the same process on the bags under the eyes with its relevant layer selected using a larger and much softer brush.the aim is to sink the eyes further into the head and create a slightly tired / deshevelled look.  Don’t forget, the key is subtlety.

Now above the desaturated layer, insert a new layer and name it two face, setting its layer blending mode to soft light. Get a very large soft brush and lower its opacity and flow. Select the colour black in the tools palette. Now paint one side of the image, softly and gradually with the brush until you have an effect as below. It may be beneficial to paint without soft light set so that you can see the areas affected as in the second image. The effect should be as in the first image.. very subtle but evident.

Now, with all the effects and processing we have done, the eyes have become somewhat blackened and lost. So lets add back some of their sparkle. Create a new layer and name it eye detail. With a thin hard brush, select the colour white. Create spaced iris like lines radiating from the center as below. They do not have to be perfect but try to prevent traveling into the white of the eye.

After completing this for both eyes. With the eye detail layer selected; navigate to Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur and you should see the dialogue box below. We want to remove the hard edges of the lines and create a somewhat sparkle like glow, so the blur does not need to be harsh.  I selected 4.

Once the blur is complete, set the layer blending mode to soft light.

Select the desaturated layer as we want to add an adjustment layer above it. Now select the adjustment / fill layer icon as earlier but this time select Channel Mixer… and enter the settings as in the second image. Once configured set the layer blending mode to soft light and we should see the dark side and areas of the face made slightly darker, increasing the contrast.

After completing this I noticed the whites of the eyes were slightly dull. So as earlier lets use our 50% Gray technique. Select the shoulders layer and insert a new layer above it. Name it eyes and fill it with 50% Gray, setting the blending mode to overlay. This time, instead of the Burn Tool we want to use the Dodge Tool. Now with a soft, applicable sized brush begin to re-whiten the whites of the eyes, zooming out and back in to ensure you do not over do it.

In the latter stages now, you want to select the uppermost layer – eye detail and holding shift select the black and white glow layer. Then right click on the selection and select ‘Duplicate Layers’

The new layers should remain selected. with them selected hit COMMAND+E to merge them.  Then re-name this layer which should be a reflection of what we have done thus far to ‘blur pop’. This should indicate what were are going to do now.

With the blur pop layer selected navigate to Filter ->Blur -> Lens Blur . This blur is going to be slightly over done to help make our chap pop out from the background and try and achieve somewhat of a 3D depth to the image. I used a value of 39.

After hitting OK, you should see a heavily blurred image. With the layer selected, add a layer mask.  This can be done by clicking on the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers palette or by navigating to Layer -> Layer Mask -> Reveal All. Now equip a large soft brush with Opacity of about 65%. Select the white panel that has now been added to your blur pop layer. With your brush begin to paint on your image and you should witness your sharper image below begin to come through. Do not reaveal the background, nor the edges. It’s ok if its quite rough, it will add to the natural effect  – which is what we want!

Hopefully You should have something like the below:
