Understanding Contrast in Photography: A Masterclass

8 lessons 0% complete Next: What Contrast Is: Highlights, Shadows, and Revealing the Subject

From black and white to color, from digital to traditional film, it is always the contrast of an image that grabs the attention of its viewer. Understanding Contrast in Photography: A Masterclass is an intermediate course that teaches you to see and control the range between highlights and shadows that reveals your subject. Across eight practical lessons you will read tone and the high- and low-key processes, choose between high, medium, and low tonal contrast, map your tones on the histogram, work with complementary colors and saturation, and master the metering, stops, and exposure compensation that bring it all under your control — finishing with a contrast portfolio submitted to the Light & Composition Award.
