Creating Dramatic Black and White Images

[@ZacharyDetton]

Sean I really appreciate that you do all your tutorials in Photoshop instead of Lightroom because I can take what I’ve learned and apply it to other applications.

[@grayfairweatherart8341]

Finally, someone who is helpful without having to talk about themselves 90 percent of the time, nice one Sean!!!! Loving the channel.

I so appreciate how you break it all down & speak 'plain English' in your explanations! I've been applying the techniques from this series already!! And you convinced me to create my new website with Squarespace - thank you very much!

[@pammill1]

Thank you Sean…haven’t watched you for a while…realized how much I enjoy your approach and generosity…(Novice to Photoshop)..

Love you Sean ! Thank you so much for everything you share with us ❤️

[@PaulCoughlan1]

Your subtle yet effective approach is exactly the flow I admire and wish to utilize in developing my own style. Thank you for providing such tutorials.

[@jameshood3457]

Lots of little bits in here that totally blew my mind, excellent video and thank you Sean.

[@irishrose89775]

Really great information! Thank you for making it so simple and useable.

[@stevosd60]

Intelligent use of techniques. Excellent 👍

[@isa_chan.23]

Thank you very much!!! I'm starting out in photography and I find editing quite complicated. Your tutorials are really good and help me a lot!

[@alunrees3056]

Nice one Sean, really appreciate this series.

[@richardowen4558]

Been using the filters in Silver Efex for years. I used to help produce the image as I envisioned it. As far as b&w film, I have always been partial to Tri-X and still use on occasion today. You did a nice job detailing your procedure as the comments indicate.

[@adithompson199]

Thank you so much for your time and effort with your series and videos. I enjoy them so much. I really appreciate it. Thank you.

[@Alina-fr5ye]

I'm so excited for this video. The topic really interesting!

[@Ronniealdo]

Thanks so much Sean! Brilliant like always. As someone who has been practicing for a while but am still not content with where I am in my own portraiture I would love to see a video from you about angle of light and light placement. With one light and a modifier and possible two lights. I love how you place the rim light right across the cheek. I know you are busy but just an idea. Thanks so much for everything you do.

[@tititatiti]

He has already done a video about light placement about a year ago (when he was still in London).

[@Ronniealdo]

@@tititatiti I've watched his One Light speed light video many times. What's the name of the video you are talking about? Thanks

[@tititatiti]

@@Ronniealdo Hi Ronnie, in his video "How to shoot film portraits at home" he talks about flash light, diffusers etc. Hope that helps!

[@tititatiti]

You can also check his video "Balancing sunlight and strobe".

[@LukeSterner]

Excellent tutorial. Very informative. Thank you.

[@jimjames4252]

Thank you for this series. Valuable information presented in a clear and precise manner.

[@treyfoerster8759]

Great process, some of which I hadn't heard about. Thank you very much!

[@eduardoviner1161]

Thank you Sean for these tutorials!

[@michaelcamilleri9388]

Excellent and very informative tutorial. My only problem is that I'm not well conversed with photoshop....I find photoshop very intimidating. Thanks Sean..Keep it up.

[@smirnofice2004]

This is amazing! I recently found your channel, watched a dozen of videos and you never miss the shot. Thank you and keep up the great work.

[@JoseLopez-pw1im]

Excellent tutorial! So simply explained!

[@RichardServello]

Do you ever do any black and white using gels and filters? You can get some really interesting looks with that.

[@Mrhector593]

Great work as Always brother... 👍

[@Mapsephotography]

Nice tutorial Im getting much better with my editing as a new photographer. Im curious to know what to do if the highlights are already blow out when adding the levels layer.

[@davesusko3517]

Thank you Sean, this is right inline with my current project.

Great series, Sean - really really helpful.

[@kapilbhallafoto]

Very useful direction, I use LR and will be able to use some of this knowledge there.

[@MrProFaen]

Your videos are great. Thanks Sean

[@allgamestotal6773]

amazing!! can u do a black and white wildlife like lions or elephants with harsh background? thanks

[@EricSnissaert]

Thanks Sean, very good instruction video!

[@kotence777]

I was using Camera raw to do black and white. It was much easier for me. I can't wait to try and see the difference if done this way. Thank you!

[@photograffic228]

Thank you Sean, big fan

[@susanblanda]

Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge and skills with us! ❤️

[@TOG1Vulcan]

Thank you Sean, Thank you

[@peregrineclarke]

This is so helpful, thank you! I've been spending ages in LRC trying to get my B&W shots to have some 'feeling' to them (without success) but this tutorial has changed my editing process completely, just a few steps and my B&W images look amazing. Thank you Sean.

[@photo818]

Thanks Sean! Appreciate this series and it has helped me tremendously and can see the difference in my portrait edits, you’re the man!!👍🏼

[@anneforbes8214]

So very useful, Sean. Does the technique also apply to architectural B&W?

[@MusicJunky3]

Well I'll be ..I just had an advert for an idea / course such as this but...that one was for an enormous amount and this one is free (!!) but probably not with the same quality (that advert :)).. So I'm off re-listening and re-doing ..Thank you Sean !

[@mauriceprokaziuk337]

Great tips, thanks.

[@photographylifestyle8917]

Thank you ❗️❗️ Great and helpful video❗️

[@carolyn9996]

Thank you so much...this helped me immensely.

[@GV_777YT]

do you have an updated, Lightroom version of this video?

[@jamesmonte3165]

Great video Sean

[@mrlcc2]

Thanks for all the info Sean, your content is just amazing!!

[@martanogueiraphotography]

Thank you very much for your help!

[@laurelb8372]

Thank you, very clear & concise

[@chrisburnard5157]

Brilliant, thank you so much.

[@bhamerlik]

Thanks a lot, Sean. I don't have and don't work in PS, but I think I know where to find the corresponding tools in the editors I usually work with. Good to see how much more we can do with an image. As always, a big thank you for all your work and for sharing it with us.

[@Alina-fr5ye]

thanks for the tips! :)

[@HeatherParady]

again, so freakin' valuable. thank you

[@scothowe539]

Excellent video Sean. I find it interesting that Lightroom's black and white conversion has sliders for 8 colors rather than the 5 in Photoshop. I figured that they would be the same.

[@dennisdennis7069]

So amazing advice on min 4. Thank you🙏

[@enderein11]

Excellent video

[@jckodaks]

Awesome turorial! Would you do this edit differently on Lightroom?

[@thomasbaker3249]

thank you so much for this tutorial. I wonder. Would this also apply to product photography? Didn't realised, how important is to plan which colours to use. Before taking black and white pictures.

[@RonaldDuverge]

amazing tutorial very much Appreciated !

[@mcalanchini1]

simple and clear.

[@alanneilson6811]

Thank you Sean another very informative video love the way you present the topics you cover.

[@neujus]

[@steveperkins3718]

What can you do with the eyes Sean - they look quite dark and souless in this method

[@chriscard6544]

[@michaelyolch79]

It’s a great time to be alive. :)

[@CoenradJMorgan]

Thank you, so, so much.

[@Firefighter85521]

Thank you

[@amandaamarawansha]

I am so appreciative for this entire series, because I really love photography but hate the post-editing process due to the software complexity that felt unnecesarily too elaborate and took away from my enjoyment of digital photography. So I really appreciate the clarity and simplicity in how you broke down the steps for a normal-person out there. Many thanks :)

[@dhairyasharma6627]

I came running Sean 🏃‍♂️

[@geotsaou]

Hello Sean. Great video as usual. Just a quick question since idk when I'll be able to check it myself. If we use a gradient filter on a coloured photo, and then blend it for luminosity, will it work to bring up some contrast? I really liked what it did to the b&w image.

[@davecarrera]

I doff my hat sir and wish you well.

[@yosefco]

Hi Sean, how can i get the b&w photoshop gradient preset? i dont see it.
