See the World in Black & White
Strip away color and you're left with what actually makes a photo work: shape, contrast, light, and shadow.
Black and white forces you to see a scene differently, and once you notice it, you can't unsee it. This photo walk teaches you to shoot B&W entirely in camera, no software needed.
What to expect: You'll meet your instructor in a public place and work side by side for the full session, moving through a few different locations so there's always something new to point your camera at.
Ask questions as you go and get feedback in real time. All skill levels welcome. Come to learn your camera better, leave seeing the world in a completely new way.
