How to read and choose light before you raise the camera, including hard light, soft light, direction, tonal range, and shadow as a compositional tool. How to build compositions with intention, from the fundamentals of the rule of thirds through shape, form, geometry, patterns, leading lines, symmetry, minimalism, and the discipline of leaving things out. How to find and tell stories through your photographs, developing your eye, your subject matter, and your emotional connection to what you shoot. The complete technical foundation, covering camera settings, RAW capture, exposure for monochrome, and an introduction to the Zone System. A full editing workflow for Lightroom and Capture One, including contrast and tonal range, dodging and burning, layer masks, and developing your own editing style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho this book is for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is for photographers who are serious about black and white photography and want to move beyond technically correct images into work that is genuinely compelling.
