52 Assignments: Black & White Photography

52 Assignments: Black and White Photography is a year's worth of inspiring weekly assignments to kick-start your creativity.

From capturing clouds, reflections, and water to shooting cityscapes, architecture, and vehicles, all the assignments in this book have been written to inspire you to embrace this timeless art and convey the essence of your subject through shades of light and dark alone. Whether you're photographing natural elements or man-made landscapes, each assignment encourages you to look at the world in a new way, relying on shape, texture, and the source, direction, and intensity of light, rather than color, to create eye-catching images. Full of technical advice and professional tips, the book includes journal space for you to add your own notes, lists, and tech specs, creating a unique journal in which you can record the journey you have made with your imagery. Complete the assignments weekend by weekend over the course of a year, or dip in every time you need to bring a new concept or creative approach to your monochromatic photography.
