Black and white Techniques

By Sam Loftus

BLACK AND WHITE

LIGHTING/TONE

This is an interacting way to light this

ballerina, it almost looks like a

shadow gown. And this is done by

having her lean agents the

background and the light running

down it.

The pic is what I’ve seen as the

common movie star photograph and

this is the light hitting the model from

a 45 degree up high on her left side.

The light here on the right side of her

face looks intersect were the one in

darkness look mysteries and sinister.

COMPOSITION/FRAMING

This is the main subjects in the

middle with the her legs making a

triangle with the ground.

This one there faces are slightly

merged making it strange to the eye

because their faces are in two

different directions.

In this one the distortion caused by

the glass of water creates an abstract

effect.

ANGLE OF SHOTS/VANTAGE

POINT

This is a high shot makes the woman

looked victimised.

This slightly lowered shot presents a

level of power or trust towards this

individual.

This really high shot detracts attention

away from the woman and instead

towards the background.

SUBJECT MATTER/USE OF PROPS

The subject matter is completely

covered freckles which causes the

viewer to focus on the eyes.

This image has a woman smoking

whilst handling a camera, this gives it

an urban feel.

This image is unique as it uses other

means to display a message.

BACKGROUND/DEPTH OF FIELD

This has long depth of field due to

the feet being in focus as well as the

mast in the background.

This has a mid depth of field as the

subject is a substantial distance away

but is still in focus as well as his drink.

This is a close up depth of field as

only the old gentlemen is in focus.
