A bit of black and white photography

May 11, 2020

One of my homework for Nicéphore, the photo school I talked to you about here, was to do portraits (above waist) black on black, white on white, black on white etc. you get the gist. The challenge was that each time, it needed to be with different lights (strong, moody etc.). I wanted to show it to you because it's not what I usually photograph and because I'm quite happy with how it came out:

The theme I chose was "faceless". I already showed you that one on my bath series but maybe in colour? Here are the other 13 pictures I presented (the ones above are the first two). For info, yes my son is actually lying under a wet sheet. The things I make my kids do (and that they accept!):

This one may have been one of my fave:

Of course there are plenty of outtakes but also some that I haven't presented but I thought were quite ok like this one:

Or this one:

Here are all the others so you understand why I find the selection process difficult, my teacher knows what I mean:

Well, I'll leave out the bath outtakes as you have already seen them:

Oh that series of Eliott I love too:

Oh those I didn't put in the series either actually!:

If you are ok with it, I'll present you my two next (and last of the first part) homework. One of them is also black and white but the last one was way more magical (if you know me from Instagram, you know what I mean!).

That cheeky face says good bye to you :)
