For me, Photography is one of my favourite aspect when it comes to art. Photographing using black and white is also the one that I found the hardest to do. But that doesn't mean that I do not like doing it. Black and white photography takes a lot of skills in order to portray the message that you wanted as you are only limited when comes to colour. highlight, shadow, contrast plays a huge role when it comes to this type of photography. In my own opinion, the picture that I took in the past are very much different with the one that I took using this style. I love taking pictures using vibrant colours, sometimes neutral in which either or still uses colour. colour can basically show the theme or meaning of a photo just by one look. but in black and white, you will not understand its theme in first glance, because it could mean anything... without its colour, it won't be as simple to show the mood and emotion behind the photo. you will have to understand the use of contrast and light in order to comprehend its meaning. and that's why black and white is tricky. While taking this picture that I took, I first planned what are the theme that I would want to show with my pictures. and by doing some brainstorm and research with patience, I think I've achieve what my goal is.
moreover, when it comes to the settings that I've used. some of it were tricky. specially with different lighting presented in our workplace. most of the time, I tried to do a tiny under exposed picture, to show more contrast than highlights. it's a lot easier for me to edit pictures who doesn't have much light. switching lens helped me a lot too. I used 50mm most of the time, as it emphasized my subject. and that was also depending on what my theme is. Finally, I've enjoyed taking pictures in black and white. And will aim to do better the next time I'll do this.
